Los Angeles Violent Crimes Attorney
Criminal Defense for Violent Crimes in San Fernando Valley - Van Nuys - Hollywood
Given the recent changes in Calfornia Law, those charged with violent crimes face substantial state prison sentences. The California Three Strike Law has enumerated a number of violent crimes as serious and violent felonies. An individual convicted of one of these particular crimes not only faces a substantial period of time in state prison but also must serve 80-85% of their sentence as well. Additionally, an individual who has suffered two previous serious or violent "strike" offenses is subject to a sentence of 25 years to life. These are very serious criminal offenses, as they not only break the law, but they also put the lives, safety, and well-being of innocent people in danger. The attorneys at the Goldstein Law Offices have a combined 48 years of experience defending individuals charged with violent felonies. Our attorneys have handled hundreds of serious cases.
James A. Goldstein has tried more murder than 100 murder cases to verdict. Our
