California Three-Strike Law Lawyers
California's three strikes law applies to individuals who have been charged with a felony crime. If an individual is convicted of a felony crime, and if he or she has had two prior felony convictions, the third offense will automatically generate a 25-year to life prison sentence. If an individual has one prior felony conviction, the prison sentence for the second-strike crime will be doubled.
At the Hammerschmidt Broughton Law Corporation, we understand California's complex three strikes law, and how it applies to individuals with prior felony convictions. If you have been charged with a felony crime for the second or subsequent time, contact a Fresno, California, criminal strikes defense lawyer to learn about your legal options.

If a juvenile was charged with a felony crime and plead for probation, a subsequent felony charge as an adult could have dramatic effects. Besides being ineligible for probation, the prison sentence for the second conviction is doubled. If the current offense is considered a serious or violent crime, five years may be added to the prison term. Seemingly "minor" juvenile offenses can affect an individual for life.
We are familiar with the various laws and statutes that apply in criminal strikes defense cases:
- Penal code 667 (including 667.5 and 667.5c)
- Penal code 1192 (including 1192.7)
