Gang-Related Charges

Gang-Related Charges Defense in California

Charged with a Gang-Related Offense in California? I’m Here to Defend Your Rights.

California takes gang-related offenses very seriously, with laws that impose severe penalties, including enhanced sentences and long prison terms. Being accused of a crime connected to gang activity can drastically increase the stakes of your case, making it essential to have an experienced attorney who understands California’s gang laws. I’m committed to providing a strong defense, protecting your rights, and helping you navigate the complex legal landscape.

What I Offer:

  • Expertise in California’s Gang Laws: California has specific statutes, such as the California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention (STEP) Act, that address gang-related activities. These laws impose additional penalties if a crime is committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a criminal street gang. I’m well-versed in these laws and can help you understand how they might impact your case.

  • Challenging Gang Enhancements: Gang enhancements can add significant time to a sentence if you’re convicted. I’ll thoroughly examine the prosecution’s evidence to challenge the application of these enhancements, including questioning the validity of alleged gang affiliations and whether the crime was truly gang-related.

  • Defense Against a Range of Gang-Related Charges: I handle a variety of cases involving gang-related accusations, including:

    • Criminal Street Gang Participation: If you’re accused of actively participating in a gang and committing or aiding a felony offense, I’ll work to dismantle the prosecution’s case by challenging the evidence of gang membership and the alleged criminal act.
    • Gang Conspiracy: Gang conspiracy charges can be based on minimal evidence, such as associating with known gang members or being present during a crime. I’ll fight to separate you from any alleged gang activity and demonstrate your innocence.
    • Violent Crimes with Gang Allegations: Whether it’s assault, robbery, or homicide, if your charges include gang enhancements, I’ll build a defense that addresses both the underlying crime and the gang-related allegations.
  • Navigating California’s Sentencing Guidelines: Gang-related offenses often come with mandatory minimum sentences and limited parole opportunities. I’ll work to mitigate these harsh penalties, whether through negotiation, plea agreements, or by challenging the evidence in court.
