Orange County Three Strikes Lawyers
California's "Three Strikes and You're Out" Law was first passed by voters in 1994, implementing mandatory penalties for individuals convicted of more than one serious or violent felony offense. Under the Three Strikes Law, a defendant will receive a strike on his or her record for a conviction for a violent or serious felony. A second conviction for a violent or serious felony will result in double the penalties that may usually be enforced. A third conviction, even for a lesser offense such as theft, may result in a sentence of 25 years to life.
California's Three Strikes Law makes aggressive, immediate representation by a skilled criminal defense attorney all the more important. Facing a first strike is serious enough, as it places you at risk of facing enhanced penalties if you are charged with another serious or violent felony. Receiving a second strike is disastrous. Not only will you face double the penalties if you are convicted, but you will also then be in a position where a third conviction of any kind may result in life in prison!
It is absolutely essential that you take action immediately and consult an Orange County three strikes attorney regarding you charges. With the proper representation and early involvement, you have the best opportunity of avoiding a first, second or third strike on your criminal record.
