Violent Crimes & California’s Three Strikes Law

Crimes of violence are harshly prosecuted and penalized to the fullest extent of the law. This passion for prosecution comes from a desire to protect victims of violence and is echoed throughout California legislation and case law, specifically in the Three Strikes and You’re Out Law, which imposes enhanced penalties on repeat offenders. At the Law Office of Dennis Kuntz we realize how serious it is to be facing allegations of a violent criminal offense. We believe that defendants, suspects, and arrestees deserve to receive the highest level of criminal defense counsel.

San Bernardino criminal defense lawyer Dennis Kuntz is devoted to protecting his clients’ constitutional rights. He fights for their freedom, no matter the charge. He and our team are here to provide defense representation with a foundation in our commitment to professionalism, hard work, and integrity.

Professional Defense for Violent Crimes

The majority of violent felony offenses are classified as “strikes” in California. This means that a defendant who has a strike on his or her record may face greatly enhanced penalties for a second conviction or even life in prison for a third conviction. This makes it even more important to involve a San Bernardino criminal defense attorney who can help you avoid a strike in the first place.

California’s Three Strikes Law may affect violent felony charges in the following ways:

  • A first conviction for a qualifying felony offense will count as a strike on a defendant’s record, influencing future convictions.
  • A second conviction for a qualifying felony offense, if the defendant has a prior strike on his or her record, will result in double the penalties normally imposed for the new crime.
  • A third conviction for a qualifying felony offense, if the defendant has two prior strikes on his or her record, will result in 25 years to life in prison.

    “Leave your worries behind”
    I was very worried about my case which was an old case that Dennis Kuntz took care of perfectly. He keeps in contact and really put me at ease. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is lucky enough to have him.
    - Jennifer
    “My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.”
    Mr. Kuntz was professional and very helpful. Whenever I needed clarification, he was always available to answer my questions. I appreciated the fact that I wasn't being considered just another client, but a person who truly needed counsel. When dealing my first DUi in 2004, I hired a "Big Shot" attorney to handle my case. I was highly overcharged, and had many confusing ordeals which felt unnecessary. I was not satisfied to say the least, and felt like I got robbed. My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.
    - Riley

    Mr. Kuntz handled my case professionally and kept me informed of my options from start to finish. Made me feel comfortable knowing I was in good hands. More than satisfied with the outcome.
    - Tom
    “We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case.”
    We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case. When information was confusing, he was very clear about the next step, and what results to expect. He never made us feel like we weren't a priority. Not to mention, we received the absolute BEST possible outcome in our situation. Needless to say, we were very satisfied.
    - Denise
    “If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.”
    I had really gotten myself into serious, felonious trouble. Looking at 3 to 5 state prison time. I cannot say enough about how dedicated Dennis was to me and my situation. Not often do you feel like someone who doesn't know you at all, really CARES about you, and what he can do for you. Not once did Dennis give up on getting me the best possible outcome to my case. It's obvious that Dennis loves what he does, will go the extra mile to work hard and really WANT the best for you. I will forever be grateful that I retained Dennis for my case. Because of his hard work, relationships with the court, and his overall passion for what he does, I will be able to get a job, be able to vote, and get on with my life with no jail time, and a misdemeanor rather than a felon on my record. If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.
