Let CRM Defense Protect Your Rights and Reputation

 Gang crimes in California are taken very seriously and often result in harsh penalties due to the state's efforts to combat gang-related violence and criminal activity.  Under California law, gang crimes include offenses such as drug trafficking, assault, robbery, and murder that are carried out for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang.  The state may impose sentence enhancements, which can significantly increase penalties for individuals involved in gang-related activities.  Given the complexity and severity of these cases, CRM Defense will help you navigate the laws and protect your rights to secure the best possible outcome.

 Robbery is a serious felony in California, defined as taking personal property from another person’s possession, against their will, using force or fear (California Penal Code § 211).  Robbery is classified into two degrees: first-degree robbery, which involves a home invasion, robbery of a driver or passenger of a vehicle, or a person in an ATM vicinity, and second-degree robbery, which covers all other cases.  Penalties for robbery include significant prison time, fines, and a felony record.  Aggravating factors, such as using a weapon or causing injury, can lead to enhanced penalties.  CRM Defense can help challenge evidence, negotiate charges, and protect your rights in robbery cases. 

 California’s Three Strikes Law is a sentencing enhancement designed to impose harsher penalties on repeat offenders convicted of serious or violent felonies.  Under this law, a second "strike" results in a sentence that is double the normal term, while a third "strike" can lead to a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison.  Qualifying offenses include crimes such as murder, robbery, rape, and certain drug trafficking crimes.  While reforms have limited the law’s scope, the law still has profound consequences. CRM Defense will challenge the classification of strikes and seek sentence reductions. 

 Sex crimes in California encompass a wide range of offenses, including sexual assault, rape, child molestation, indecent exposure, and possession of child pornography.  These crimes carry severe penalties, such as lengthy prison sentences, significant fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender under California Penal Code § 290.  Convictions can have lifelong consequences, including restrictions on residency and employment.  Defending against sex crime allegations requires a thorough understanding of the law, as these cases often involve complex evidence, sensitive testimonies, and high stakes.  CRM Defense will challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and advocate for the best possible outcome.
