LIST OF VIOLENT CRIMES

Here is a list of the violent crimes that we often find our clients charged with:

VIOLENT CRIMES AND THE THREE STRIKES LAW

In California, an individual who is convicted of a violent crime may have a strike added to his record. California’s Three Strike Law has set out a list of violent and serious felonies that are punished very seriously. If an individual is convicted of a three-strikes crime, he must serve a minimum of 80% of his prison sentence. Also, a person who’s had two (2) previous strikes, must serve 25 years to life in prison if he gets a third strike. Crimes enumerated under the three strikes law are punished seriously because they place the lives of others at risk, the government wants to curb the number of serious crimes by instituting harsher punishments. If you’ve been charged with a violent crime in the State of California, you should contact the experienced violent crime attorneys at The H Law Group.

Take, for example, murder. Murder under California Penal Code Section 187 is the intentional killing of another person. Murder, obviously, is one of the most violent crimes that a person can commit. Murder convictions can range from fifteen (15) years to life in California State Prison. Nevertheless, murder is one of the crimes enumerated under California’s three-strikes law, so if you’re convicted of another crime, later on, your second conviction will result in a much harsher punishment.

Many of the crimes that take place in California involve robberies, assault, and narcotics. If you’ve been charged with or are being investigated for a violent crime such as the ones we just mentioned, you should be aware of the three-strikes law. This is so because if you’re convicted of crimes after a first strike crime, the punishments get tougher and tougher. For example, if you were convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in 2015, and in 2020 you’re convicted of robbery, if the sentence for robbery is 5 years for a first-timer, for you it might be double since you’ve already committed a first strike. As such, you should find yourself an experienced criminal defense attorney who has knowledge of the three-strikes law that may apply to your case to defend you.

PUNISHMENT FOR VIOLENT CRIMES

As far as punishment goes, violent crimes carry heavy jail time, expensive fines, and sometimes restitution. So, if you’re facing any criminal charges for committing a violent crime, such as battery, assault, murder, or kidnapping, you should contact an experienced Los Angeles attorney to represent you. The H Law Group has a team of experienced criminal defense attorneys who will help you fight the criminal charges against you.

Because violent crimes have increased in numbers, law enforcement agencies and the legislature have enacted tougher penalties for those who commit them. Also, there has been a lot of public pressure for Southern California and Los Angeles to become tougher on crime. As such, the punishments are harsher. So, if you want the best chance at beating your charges or having them reduced, you should contact attorneys for violent crimes in Los Angeles at The H Law Group to represent you.
