Violent Crimes

California Violent Crimes Defense Attorney

If you have been charged with a violent crime in California, we understand your fears, stress and worry. Getting the best possible help right away is critical to your case. Mesirow & Fink provides strong advocacy and comprehensive support to clients facing serious state and federal charges. We can help you.

Attorney Charles "Chuck" Mesirow and our team of lawyers and staff provide zealous advocacy and support to clients facing an accusation or arrest for assault or other violent crime, such as:

• Domestic violence
• Assault and battery
• Assault with a deadly weapon

• Manslaughter
• Homicide/murder

California's three-strikes law mandates that if you were convicted of two serious or violent felonies — even as a juvenile — any new felony conviction, including a theft of more than $400 or minor drug possession, can mean a mandatory life sentence. The three-strikes mandatory sentence has created massive overcrowding and a violent atmosphere in our prisons. California has more people in state prisons than anywhere else in the world. Our greatest priority is to prevent our clients from being sent to a state prison.
