Three-Strike Cases

Criminal Defense Attorney in Chino

Three-Strikes Cases

Did you know that one in four inmates in California is serving time in state prison under the three-strikes law? Three-strikes assumes that if you are found guilty of committing the same criminal act, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, three or more times you may be sentenced heavily. Even something as simple as shoplifting, occurring more than three times in a seven month period, can land you with a life sentence. There are many people who are wrongfully punished for simple crimes and are placed in prison with devastating long sentences.

Our legal team understands that there is a lot on the line. No matter how long it has been since your prior arrest or what your prior arrest was for, you need to obtain an aggressive attorney to ensure that you receive a fair trial. The California three-strikes law is incredibly harsh and leaves little "wiggle room" to try to get out on a lesser charge. The California prison population is increasing each year and even simple offenses can place you in prison. If you have been arrested two or more times, it is important that you work with a Chino criminal lawyer from Madrid Law Firm.

How Does it Work?

Three-strike law is triggered easily. Any felony, not just violent crimes, can trigger a strike against your record. If you commit three consecutive felonies you may see harsh outcomes; such as life in prison for shoplifting. There are many arguments against the three-strike law, including forcing taxpayers to aid non-violent criminals who pose no threat to the general public. Arguments that say that the three-strike rule violates the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution are common as well. California's three-strike rule leaves no room for counseling or redemption and can lead you to face years in prison for a simple crime.

If you have been arrested, and this is not your first offense, you need to ensure that you are receiving competent and quality representation - your future is on the line!

  • “Madrid Law Firm will do the absolute best for you in your situation and they will not stop fighting for you until you are satisfied with the results.”
    Madrid Law Firm had been a referral from someone that I know. Hands down this is the best Attorney and law firm that I have had to deal with. Nobody wants to have to hire an attorney, but if you have to I will highly recommend Madrid Law Firm. I was in a car accident a few weeks before delivering my precious baby girl so being in a car accident was scary and stressful. Madrid Law Firm took care of everything to make sure that my baby was happy and healthy before and after her birth. They even went above and beyond what I have seen with other attorneys, to accommodate my needs. The entire staff is caring, kind and extremely proactive. Madrid Law Firm will do the absolute best for you in your situation and they will not stop fighting for you until you are satisfied with the results. And to top it off my attorney is HONEST. Even though my attorney was able to get more money for me than we had anticipated, he didn't take more money out for himself. He gave it all to me. Wow, now that is a rare gem of a find in an attorney. Madrid Law Firm you rock. Thank you for your amazing service.

    Erica is a great lawyer to work with. I had no idea what to do about my situation and she was able to help me with my case and get me a better deal with the court. She really helps to make sure you understand your situation and always answers any questions or concerns you may have. Even 3 years after my case I was able to call her and she was so sweet to take time out of her schedule to meet with me and answer some questions I had. I highly recommend Madrid Law Firm and I will recommend them to my family and friends!
