Do I Have Three Strikes? | The Law Office of Jesse P. Duran

Question: “I had two strikes – attempted burglary, and burglary. I have a third strike, arson, but it was struck. What happens if I get a drug charge or a felony in the future? Do I get a life? Should I move to another state, in order to make things okay?”

Answer: You are in a very serious situation. Moving out of the state will not make things okay. A strike stricken for purposes of disposition in one case does not remove that strike from your record. You would be best suited to contacting an experienced, local criminal defense attorney to best represent you.
