What is Considered a Violent Crime in California?

In California, a crime is categorized as violent if it involves force or the threat of force against another individual, according to the California Penal Code Section 667.5(c). It's important to note that the classification of a crime can change based on the details of the incident. For specific legal advice or information, it's always best to consult with a legal professional.

Defending Against All Types of Violent Crimes

In California, there are three levels of criminal charges. The least severe is a violent crime infraction. Violent crimes are rarely charged as infractions. It is more common to face a misdemeanor charge or a felony charge for a violent crime. Most violent crimes are charged as felonies, which carry the harshest level of penalties.

Common violent crimes include:

Violent crime charges are incredibly serious. The penalties of a conviction are harsh. Depending on the circumstances of the allegations against you, you could be facing thousands of dollars in fines and a lengthy jail or prison sentence. Additionally, having a felony conviction on your record can negatively affect your ability to find a job, secure housing, and attend college.

    "Regardless of the charges you are facing, he will treat you as a person and not what the paper says about you."

    Hiring an attorney can be a stressful process. Mr.Vega was very helpful right from the very first phone call. He is very down to earth, and was able to explain things so that I understood. My husband was facing felony drug charges, and a possible 6 year sentence. He took the case seriously and made us feel like we mattered and that we had a voice. Regardless of the charges you are facing, he will treat you as a person and not what the paper says about you. He was able to get a very good deal that we didn't think was possible and in fact were told by other attorneys was out of the question. My husband was able to get all charges but one dismissed, 1 year of county jail , with half, credit for time served and probation and the ability to apply for early release via the work project program. That's amazing. He was willing to negotiate to come up with a payment plan to fit the needs of everyone involved. I'm 100% happy with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone.

    "Gilbert Vega is an honest lawyer who is knowledgeable, respectful and gives you his time."

    Gilbert Vega is a great lawyer, he is great a keeping communication and being informative. In our particular case he seemed to know the marijuana laws in California very well. I had a family member incarcerated with 2 strikes. I talked with 1 lawyer before Mr. Vega who he pretty much told me my brother would be facing a 25 to life sentence, no help at all but was very eager to take my money. Desperate, we found Mr. Vega and after talking with him, hired and paid him. We trusted he would help us take the sentence down and the rate he gave me was a lot more affordable than the previous lawyer. His rate was a flat fee which included travel time and his services through the whole process. We appreciate him for all he did and he was willing to give me a refund after hearing my brother had been released. Gilbert Vega is an honest lawyer who is knowledgeable, respectful and gives you his time, same with his staff. I recommend this lawyer to anyone. I will definitely hire him again should it be necessary.

    "Mr. Vega got some charges dropped and got me deal of one year in Sac County with half time"

    Mr.Vega was a great beacon of hope when I was incarcerated last June of 2014. I was charged with some serious crimes and was facing 10 years in prison but Mr.Vega got some charges dropped and got me deal of one year in Sac County with half time so I served 6 months. His team and he are the best. I will always be thankful.

    "I highly recommend him."

    Gilbert was a great help. Things were looking bad. The DA was trying to give me 3 years and a felony on my record. Thanks to Gilbert I was given a misdemeanor until I finish my diversion classes then its expunged from my record. I highly recommend him.

    "Mr. Vega reassured me that he would do his best and was with me every step of the way"

    Mr. Vega is an amazing attorney and I would recommend him to anyone!!! Let me just be frank my case was looking unbelievably scary! I had 150,000 bail was looking at federal charges and my entire life was in jeopardy...multiple felonies. Mr. Vega reassured me that he would do his best and was with me every step of the way answered every question, every phone call, every time!!! I ended up receiving a misdemeanor and sheriff work release 120 days, after facing 4 years state/ 10 years federal!! Now if my review doesn't convince you then idk what will but he was worth every single penny and I'll love him for life, he saved my life!
