Three Strikes Attorney in San Diego
There are many felony crimes that if a person is convicted of will result in them receiving a strike on their record. A strike can be one of the most damaging things to a person’s criminal record.
How does someone receive a strike on their record?
A strike is simply a label, given to particular crimes, that is used if the person commits another felony in the future. There are many felonies that are described in the Penal Code as being serious or violent felonies. A criminal attorney with Spiegel Law Group can advise you whether your felony will be a strike and will do everything legally possible to avoid that strike landing on your record.

A strike only becomes relevant if the particular person commits another felony. If that occurs, the prior strike will be used to increase the punishment for the currently charged felony. A prior strike can double the normal sentence for the charged felony. For example, if someone with a prior strike is charged in a new case for a felony which has a minimum sentence of 16 months, the strike would make their minimum sentence 32 months.
The idea of having a strike on your record is a very scary one and everything needs to be done to assure that this does not occur. An attorney with Spiegel Law Group will do everything to assure that you do not end up with a strike on your record.
