• Determinate felony sentencing in California   
  Felony sentencing in California is a controversial and complicated subject. One thing that felony defendants need to know is that if they are found guilty of the charges against them, their sentence will be decided by the judge based on a determinate sentencing system. The judge has the latitude to select a “low” sentence, an “average” sentence, or a “high” sentence. It all depends on the factors in your case, which is why having a sophisticated criminal defense team on your side is so important.
