Drug Offenses ∙ Homicide ∙ Manslaughter ∙ Theft ∙ Auto Theft
Sex Offenses ∙ Assault and Battery ∙ Domestic Violence
The three strikes law was meant to keep dangerous and violent criminals in prison. In practice, many people are in prison with three strikes for relatively minor, non-violent crimes - possession of an illegal substance or shoplifting more than $400 worth of goods, for example. Sentencing for a third strike can be 25 years to life in prison.

- At our law firm, we will investigate the current charges against you as well as the other two "strikes" to determine if any of the charges can be reduced to misdemeanor status.
- Depending on the circumstances, we can file a Romero motion to reduce one or more strikes to lesser charges.
- If you are under investigation for a felony, contact an experienced three strikes lawyer immediately. By talking with the prosecutor, our lawyers may be able to negotiate a positive resolution to the problem.
- In a Romero motion hearing, we can present evidence of the crime as well as mitigating circumstances. Our investigator and attorneys may bring in evidence from addiction and abuse experts, family members, psychiatrists, or psychologists.
