Riverside Carjacking Defense Lawyer

Have you been accused of carjacking?

Being accused of any type of criminal offense can be devastating to an individual's life. It can result in the termination of employment, revocation of driving privileges, loss of home or vehicle, and many legal consequences such as jail time, fines, probation, and community service.  If you or someone you know has been accused of carjacking, your future will lie in your decision to hire a Riverside criminal defense attorney.  Choosing to work with a legal team can benefit your case in an endless amount of ways, including ensuring that your rights are protected and that an aggressive defense is being built on your behalf.

Carjacking is defined in the California Penal Code Section 215 as the felonious taking of a motor vehicle while it is directly in the possession of another individual by aggressive force or fear and against his or her own will with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the victim of his or her motor vehicle.  The criminal justice system does not take charges of carjacking lightly, especially if the use of a violent weapon was used or threatened to be used.  In most cases, carjacking is considered a felony punishable by imprisonment in a state prison for 3 to 9 years. In addition, if carjacking is acted out as a violent crime, you may be subject to receive a "strike" according to the Three Strike Laws.  After the third strike, you are at risk to face 25 years to life in prison.
