What Are the Consequences of a Felony Conviction?

If you are convicted of a felony, you will serve time in a California state prison rather than in a local jail. As a convicted felon, you also face the following consequences after you are released from prison:

• You will be listed in the FBI's National Crime Information Center database.
• Any time a police officer pulls you over and checks your driver's license, they will find out you are a convicted felon. As a result, you will likely be treated differently than other people.
• Every time you apply for a job, a new home or a loan, you may have to divulge the fact that you are a convicted felon.
• You will never again be able to legally own or even possess a gun.
• You will never again be allowed to vote.

I am an experienced felony criminal defense attorney, well prepared to aggressively challenge every aspect of the state's case against you.

What Can I Do For You?

At the Law Office of Mark J. Madrigali, I have years of criminal defense experience. I have successfully tried hundreds of cases, involving serious offenses, such as:

• Assault, including domestic violence
• Drug possession, including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and ecstasy, as well as OxyContin and other prescription drugs
• [ ]Multiple DUI charges, including felony DUI
• Drug crimes, including medical marijuana
• Weapons crimes, including possession of firearms by felons
• Theft-related charges, including burglary

My success in felony criminal defense cases stems from carefully reviewing quality and credibility of the evidence obtained against my clients. For example, when clients are charged with multiple DUIs, I determine if the traffic stop and arrest were lawful. If Constitutional protections were violated, I work to have that evidence excluded from any prosecution.

I also consult breathalyzer experts, making sure the machine was properly maintained and operated. I question the credibility of the evidence and move to strike illegally obtained evidence.
