Three Strikes Attorneys

In California, the phrase “three strikes and you’re out” is more than just an expression; it is a serious law that can have devastating consequences. For many years, this law has been considered one of the toughest in the country, meaning that even non-violent offenses could result in life prison sentences.

It is easy to fall into the three strikes trap without even realizing it. Many people have ended up behind bars due to a series of smaller offenses that, when accumulated, resulted in a severe sentence.

However, there is some hope. The reform of California’s Three Strikes Law in 2012 marked a significant change in how sentences are applied. In most cases, mandatory sentences of 25 years to life are no longer imposed for individuals with three strikes unless the new offense is considered “serious” or “violent.” Additionally, Proposition 36 allows individuals who were sentenced under the old Three Strikes Law to request a reduction of their sentence.
