Mr. Wright has extensive experience defending clients facing possible life sentences under California’s Three Strike Law.

The California Three Strikes Law is one of the harshest, most rigid and unforgiving sentencing laws in the United States. If you are facing a third strike, it means your freedom and future are on the line. Therefore, it is critical to have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney on your side to navigate this complex and high-stakes legal terrain.

Mr. Wright understands the severe implications of the Three Strikes law and is committed to providing aggressive defense strategies aimed at reducing the impact of a third-strike conviction. Whether you’re accused of a serious or violent felony or a nonviolent offense, Mr. Wright is dedicated to fighting for you every step of the way. 

What Is the Three Strikes Law?

The Three Strikes law was enacted to target repeat offenders by imposing increasingly severe penalties for each subsequent felony conviction.

Under California Law:

  • Serious and/or violent felony convictions are considered strikes that can be used to increase punishment for any future felony conviction.
  • If someone has one “strike prior” (a prior conviction for a serious or violent felony), their sentence for any future felony conviction will be at least doubled because of the prior strike. 
  • If a person has two “strike priors” and is convicted of a new qualifying felony, they will face the possibility of a Third Strike sentence of at least 25 years to life in prison.  
  • In some circumstances, for someone with two “strike priors”, any new felony conviction, even one that is not serious or violent, can trigger a life sentence under the Three Stikes Law.

Given its potentially devastating consequences, the law creates a unique challenge for criminal defense attorneys. With stakes so high, you need a firm that knows how to navigate the nuances of the law and seek every possible opportunity to mitigate the penalties you face.
