This article is an exaggeration, but it's true that breaches of contract are usually both civil and criminal offenses and the standards of proof are different for each. The criminal element is difficult to prove because the standard is submission of evidence which proves "beyond a reasonable doubt" that there was a violation. So, if there is any question as to guilt or not, the verdict must be not guilty. For civil, the burden of proof is lesser.

Maybe lazy attorneys don't take such cases, but competent ones do. The real issue is that most people can't afford to hire good attorneys because they are very expensive. I think this is true in every country, not just America. Yet there are a lot of organizations that offer free ("pro bono") legal assistance, people just don't know about them. I do free legal work for people in the area of immigration and asylum. Btw, how will you celebrate Victory Day??
