3 Strikes Cases
According to California law, a three strikes
crime is a very serious, violent felony. A
“strike” is equivalent to one violent felony
conviction. If a person has one strike, and is
convicted of a second major felony, his/her
prison sentence will be doubled. If the person
has two strikes on his/her criminal record, and
he/she is convicted of a third serious felony,
he/she will be sentenced with life imprisonment.
When it comes to three strikes crimes,
California law enforcement, prosecutors, and
judges have zero tolerance.
If you have been charged with a crime and have a
previous criminal conviction on your record (one
strike)—even if it was years ago, even if the crime
was non-violent—you could be facing a doubling of
your prison sentence if you’re convicted again.If
you have two “strikes” against you (two prior
convictions), you could be looking at life in prison
for your current crime.
Once a person has been convicted of a three
strikes crime, he/she may be punished with:
imprisonment, fines, court-ordered counseling,
probation, parole, or community service. The
punishments for three strikes felonies are very
severe and should never be taken lightly. Once a
person has one strike on his/her criminal record,
he/she is susceptible to enhanced sentencing if
he/she is convicted in the future.
If you have a prior conviction, Mr. Melnik’s goal
is to get that prior conviction reduced or
dismissed.

crime, it is best to seek services of a qualified
