Re: three strikes law

Unfortunately, robbery is considered a violent/serious crime covered by the Three Strikes law. I do not believe there is anything you can do except perhaps for finding and hiring a good lawyer who might review his case and evaluate the validity of his conviction.

Feel free to contact me if you are looking to retain a lawyer in Southern California.

100% of prison inmates have a BS story about how innocent they really are.

Re: three strikes law

You can find an attorney who will look into the actual crime, and the trial, to check for errors made by the previous attorney. This however is not cheap. I am sorry that you have been given an answer previously that does not believe your story.

If you wish to have help, you are welcome to call my office at your earliest convenience.
