California Gang Violence Laws

As a result of overwhelming gang violence, California has enacted gang affiliation laws which impose harsher sentences on individuals convicted of various crimes who are thought to be associated with a gang. This means that if a police officer or prosecutor proves that you are affiliated with a gang, you may face a more severe penalty than you otherwise would for the same crime.

As a former prosecutor with over 13 years of legal experience,, I have the investigation, preparation, and negotiation skills to defend your rights and future. I am often able to reduce charges and eliminate any gang affiliation for clients, thus preserving their freedom.

If you have been arrested or charged for a gang-related crime in Fresno County or anywhere in the Central Valley, contact me and start preparing your defense.
