The Law Offices of Victor Orsatti offers San Diego defendants facing new felony charges a confidential consultation reviewing prior convictions, evidence, and defense options under California's Three Strikes sentencing law.
-- The Law Offices of Victor Orsatti is announcing zero-cost criminal defense consultations for San Diego defendants facing a new felony allegation where prior convictions may count as strikes. Each consultation involves a review of prior convictions, current charges, the evidence at issue, and the defense options available under California law.

According to the firm, the stakes in these matters are considerable because, under California's Three Strikes law, a person with one prior strike generally faces a prison term twice the sentence otherwise prescribed for the new offense, while someone with two or more prior strikes generally faces 25 years to life, subject to the statute's specific rules and exceptions.
Whether that harsher outcome applies often depends on how the current charge is classified. A third-strike life sentence generally requires the new felony to be classified as serious or violent, or to involve a specified triggering factor. Absent that classification, the case may instead fall under the sentencing rules that apply to a second strike, a distinction that can significantly change what a defendant is facing.
"Because these distinctions carry such weight, our review looks closely at the facts of each case rather than relying on assumptions about a person's record," a spokesperson for The Law Offices of Victor Orsatti said. "That review may include prior court records, the details of earlier convictions, the current charges, the evidence the prosecution intends to present, and whether legal procedures were properly followed throughout the case."
They added that a thorough review can also surface legal options that might otherwise go unexamined. For example, California law allows a judge to dismiss a prior strike conviction under Penal Code section 1385, commonly through a Romero motion, when dismissal serves the interests of justice, following a 1996 California Supreme Court ruling.
