Preparation of Your Felony Case

Felonies are the most serious, and generally violent, of all criminal offenses. These crimes carry prison terms of more than a year all the way up to life, and may even be punished by the death penalty. If you or someone you know is facing felony charges, it is crucial that you engage the services of a capable felony defense lawyer you can trust to pursue your best interests throughout the entirety of your case. You will want someone who is not afraid to work tirelessly, who will investigate every fact and detail, and who is committed to getting the full story of your situation and its circumstances.

California also has established the “three strikes” law that punishes repeat offenders with increased punishments for successive felony convictions. For example, a second felony conviction can lead to prison time that is doubled while a third one will lead to 25 years in prison to life. First felony convictions carry more than a year of prison time and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

In light of the grave penalties connected with any felony conviction, it is strongly advised that you seek legal counsel. A felony defense attorney can help, whether you are still under investigation or have been formally charged.
