California Violent Felony Defense Attorneys

Defending Clients in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego and Orange County

A violent felony, in California, is also a grounds for a strike on your criminal record. This means that an additional violent or serious felony conviction will carry double the penalties – and a third conviction, even for an offense which is not a serious or violent felony, may result in 25 years to life in a California state prison.

Defending a violent felony charge requires the special skill of an attorney who is unfazed by the grave accusations you are facing. Domestic violence, murder, and assault with great bodily injury are all examples of crimes which may be charged as violent felonies in California. Penalties for these crimes range from several years in state prison to, in the case of first degree murder, the death penalty.

Make no mistake that your very life may be on the line if you are facing a violent felony offense and/or a  strike. Your lawyer will need to be prepared to take on aggressive prosecutors who may have physical evidence and witness testimony prepared to bury you in criminal court. By conducting an independent, thorough investigation of your charges, your lawyer can attempt to disprove the prosecution’s ace in the hole – forensic evidence.
