San Diego Felony Sentencing

If you have been charged with a felony in San Diego, you must make sure that you have an experienced felony criminal defense lawyer representing you.  The sentence, or punishment, on felonies always includes the possibility of going to prison for a number of years.  Facing the prospect and risk that you could be in custody for such a long time, you should not settle for a San Diego criminal defense attorney who only handles misdemeanors.  You need a felony lawyer.

A knowledgeable San Diego felony criminal defense lawyer knows how to use the law to minimize your sentence as much as possible.  But, it is not enough that your lawyer be knowledgeable; your lawyer must be a hard worker.  For felonies, your lawyer can file what we call a Sentencing Memorandum with the court.  The purpose of a Sentencing Memorandum is to explain to the judge all of the legal reasons for giving you a light sentence, as opposed to a harsh sentence.  The California Rules of Court give judges various factors that they must consider when sentencing a defendant.  That sad truth is that even many knowledgeable San Diego felony criminal defense lawyers do not write or file Sentencing Memorandums for their clients because it takes too long and they are too hard to write.  They are lazy.  That is why you need not just a smart lawyer, but a lawyer who will truly work hard on your behalf and fight for you.
