Three Strikes Law

California Three Strikes Law Defense Lawyers

Many people are overly focused on the third strike felony conviction that results in mandatory life imprisonment. At the Law Offices of Timothy B. Rien, the defense attorneys understand how important it is to fight every single criminal charge that is considered a "strike", not just the third.

The Courts Have a Very Long Memory

The law applies to your case even if your felony conviction happened 20 years ago, happened when you were a minor, happened in another state, happened before the Three Strikes Law was enacted, or was the result of a plea bargain.

It is important to note that the first two convictions must be for serious or violent crimes, regardless of how long ago they happened or if you were under 18.

Committed to Your Defense - First Strike or Third Strike

The lawyers at the Livermore Law Offices of Timothy B. Rien offer skilled criminal defense people charged with potential "strike" crimes such as:

• Murder/manslaughter
• Sex offenses, such as sexual assault, rape, child molestation, and child pornography
• Aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon
• Gun charges, such as armed robbery or possession of a firearm during the crime
• Burglary
• Kidnapping

• For mere possession of firearm: 10-year enhancement to sentence
• For use of a firearm (firing a gun): 20-year enhancement
• If someone is injured by the firing of a gun: mandatory 25-to-life prison sentence
