Felony Criminal Defense

If you are charged with a felony, you absolutely need an experienced attorney who understands what you are facing. Ms. Jensen has sucessfully represented persons charged with various felonies and misdemeanors over the years.  She has reprsented persons charged with serious felony strike offenses including:

• Arson
• Robbery
• Residential Burglary
• Assault with a Deadly weapon
• Firearm Offenses  

A strike-eligible offense is one that falls within California's "Three Strikes" laws. Conviction of an offense that is considered a strike (i.e. serious and/or violent felonies) can have a huge impact on the length of the sentence and sentencing in any future strike convictions.

She has also represented clients charged with other felonies including:

• Sex Offenses
• Domestic Violence
• Possession of Stolen Property
• Drugs

Certain sex offenses will have serious consequences such as the duty to register as a lifetime sex offender. Domestic violence convictions can go hand-in-hand with criminal restraining orders and a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction can be a lifetime barrier to owning a firearm.

Ms. Jensen knows how to minimize the negative impact of otherwise devastating charges. She has gotten felonies reduced to misdemeanors, successfully argued for rehabilitative programs and diversions, and has bargained down to less serious charges. She has also obtained dismissals by demonstrating that evidence was insufficient or tainted, and through trial litigation.
