Felonies and the Three Strikes Law in California
The Three Strikes legislation passed in 1994 was an effort to crack down on crime by putting repeat offenders behind bars for a long-term or permanent basis. Unfortunately, even individuals who have committed lesser offenses could face serious penalties, including 25 years to life. At The Law Offices of Michael L. Davidson, our attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of repeat offenders in San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland & San Mateo, California.
Aggressive Defense for First-Time and Repeat Offenders
Even if you are a first-time offender, it is important to be aware of the potential consequences of a conviction. On the first strike conviction, you will get to prison with a mandatory minimum of double on the second conviction, or petty theft with a prior offense. On the third strike, you could face life in prison, even if that crime is not a serious or violent offense. If you have been convicted of a crime in the past, you need informed, strategic advocacy to defeat your charges or minimize the penalties, including the Three Strikes laws.
