Tampa Three Strikes Crimes

Florida & Federal Three Strikes Law

Three strikes law is a term that refers to having three criminal convictions.  These criminal convictions can be mix of minor misdemeanors or serious felonies.  Regardless of the classification of crime, once a person has been convicted of criminal offenses three times, he/she will automatically have to spend the rest of his/her life in prison.  The Three Strikes Rules is both a state and Federal sentencing guideline that must be adhered to judges within the Florida legal system.

As one can imagine, receiving a third criminal conviction and then knowing you will have to spend the rest of your life in prison can be very devastating.  For this reason, people who are charged with a criminal offense and are facing a third conviction need to hire an experienced Tampa criminal defense attorney.  Without help from an aggressive lawyer, people stand little chance of avoiding life imprisonment. 

Three Strikes Conviction & Penalties

A person who has been convicted of a third criminal offense will face a variety of severe legal ramifications.  These legal penalties may include, but are not limited to:

• life imprisonment
• fines

• court ordered counseling

Obtaining a Three Strikes Attorney

After a person has been charged with or arrested for a third criminal offense, it is imperative that the person consult with a skilled criminal defense attorney.  A defense lawyer can get involved from the onset of the legal process and provide insight and direction as the person’s case progresses.  Additionally, a criminal defense attorney can negotiate with judges and prosecutors to possibly have the person’s criminal charges reduced, or in some cases, dismissed entirely.
