Felony Defense
Former Fresno County Deputy District Attorney
A first-time conviction for a felony charge can mean a serious penalty, including a lengthy prison sentence. Moreover, under California's three strikes law, any felony conviction can count against you and result in a life sentence after three convictions. It is critical that your defense attorney understands the importance of a vigorous defense in any felony case.
