The U.S. Bankruptcy code offers protection to people who find themselves in
financial jeopardy, suffering under mountains of debt. The bankruptcy laws were
enacted to provide relief for people who have been victimized by divorce, job loss,
identity theft, medical bills, or disability. A combination of unfortunate events can
contribute to financial woes. Credit card debt can seem insurmountable with spiraling
interest rates. Filing for bankruptcy protection is a sound business decision. Many
creditors often wonder why it is taking you so long to file for bankruptcy protection.

Criminal or Penal Law, is defined as the body of law that deals with crime and the
legal punishment of criminal offenses. Criminal law does not concern itself with
disputes between individuals, but relates to offenses against the public order.
The federal government, along with cities and states, define and prosecute people
who commit crimes that range from minor traffic violation to serious, violent offenses.
At The Law Firm of Grant & Associates, LLC we focus on two major types of criminal law,
felonies and misdemeanors. Whether a crime falls in to one category or the other depends
on the potential punishment. If a law provides for imprisonment for longer than a year,
it is usually considered a felony. If the potential punishment is for less than a year,
then the crime is considered a misdemeanor.
