Re: 3 strikes-please help

It seems very odd that a DUI is considered a strike because it is usually a misdemeanor. Is this his 4th DUI or was there great bodily injury caused by this DUI? There seems to be a lot of holes in this. Please contact my office at 310/277-1707 to further discuss your matter.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Wolf, Esq.
