What are the Consequences of a Gang Crime Conviction?If you are convicted of a gang crime, you could face the stigma that may prevent you from obtaining gainful employment. You may be required to register as a gang member, spend time in prison, and follow a strict probationary period. Being labeled a gang member may also, unfairly, make you a target for other criminal charges.

What type of defense strategy?In many cases, we have proved that individuals being prosecuted are not active gang members at all. If they are not active gang members, they cannot be held responsible for gang-related criminal acts such as failure to register or recruitment. In cases where our defendants have faced enhanced charges for felonies, we start our defense strategy by strategically breaking down the prosecution’s case against the underlying criminal charge.
