Violent Crimes and California’s Three Strikes Law

While any criminal conviction can result in jail time, probation, and/or fines, some assault and battery convictions can apply to California’s Three Strikes Law and can result in lengthy sentences even on for a first offense. In addition, even a ‘minor’ assault conviction can have a significant effect on your future employment prospects and on your immigration status if you are not a U.S. citizen. If you already have two strikes against you, it is possible to spend the rest of your life in prison if you are convicted of a third felony offense.
