The punishment for violent crimes in California is severe. If you or a loved one is facing a possible criminal conviction for a violent crime, you need to speak with an attorney immediately.

In California, there are also sentencing enhancements for most types of violent crimes. The most common types of enhancements are for crimes involving gang activity, firearms, and great bodily injury.

Examples of sentencing enhancements for violent crimes include:

• An additional 3 to 6 year prison sentence if the victim suffers a substantial bodily injury
• An additional 15 years to life prison sentence if the crime was done to benefit a gang
• An additional 10 years in prison if you use a gun during the commission of a crime
• An additional 20 years in prison if you fire a gun during the commission of a crime
• An additional 25 years to life in prison if you kill or seriously injure someone with a gun during the commission of crime
