The "Three Strikes” law is California's answer to repeat offenders, and it could give you a life sentence for what is otherwise a very minor crime. The law essentially gives you "strikes" for serious felonies, and after the third felony, your sentencing penalties will escalate dramatically. You can receive anywhere from 25 years to a life sentence for your third serious offense, even when a first-time offense for the same violation would barely include any jail time.
California has one of the harshest stances in the country against repeat offenders, but your rights should never be trampled.

You need serious defense when facing a strike-eligible charge. Call (714) 879-5770.
You receive your first strike when you are convicted of a violent or serious felony, such as:
If you receive one strike for any of these offenses, the law becomes much stricter for your second or third strike. The jail time used in sentencing will usually double, for example, if you get a second strike for the same offense as the first. The third strike will typically carry a prison sentence of 25 years at least.
It is also important to know that after strike one, any felony counts as a strike. Even a nonviolent drug crime will add a strike to your record if it is a felony and if you have a preexisting strike.
With the Three Strikes law written in a way that benefits prosecutors and unfairly penalizes defendants, you need to choose a law firm that can take immediate and correct action to protect you.
