Types of Aggrevated Assault Charges in Los Angeles
As a starting point for an effective defense strategy, we will evaluate the police report, witness statements and any physical evidence. Attorney Daniel Perlman takes his approach a step further through identifying creative solutions by focusing on the actual risk of punishment you are currently facing. The threat of prison will probably be based as much on your prior record as it will be on the facts of the current criminal charges, including allegations involving:
- Bar fights
- Vehicular homicide
- Domestic violence, spousal abuse, child abuse or sexual assault
- Aggravated assault, simple assault, assault and battery
- Weapons charges, assault with a deadly weapon and robbery with a weapon
- Violent crimes charged against you while on probation or parole
- Juvenile or college student violent crimes
- Murder, homicide or manslaughter
If weaknesses in the government's case mean that you stand a good chance of success at trial, we will aggressively represent your interests before a jury. If the evidence against you makes a trial too risky, we will advice you and work with all parties including prosecutors, probation officers, court services and community agencies to show that you are an excellent candidate for favorable treatment.
Defending against three-strikes crimes in Los Angeles
In California, individuals convicted of two prior violent crimes can be sentenced to prison for 25 years to life in prison for their conviction. The three-strikes law may apply even if the third conviction is for a less serious offense, such as shoplifting. Even if your first two convictions happened more than 20 years ago or in another state, the three-strikes law applies.
At the Law Offices of Daniel R. Perlman, we offer a substantial background defending clients against charges that fall under California's three-strikes law. We know steps to take in conducting a thorough investigation to uncover any contradictory evidence or false statements given to prosecutors. Our firm will also fight for the charges to be dismissed or greatly reduced, if your civil rights were violated or you acted out of self defense. For example, you can go to court and file a Romero motion for the court to ignore previous strikes.
