Carjacking

Aggressive Defense Against High-Profile Charges

Facing Carjacking Charges? What You Need to Know:

Carjacking is one of California’s most serious violent crimes, and Los Angeles law enforcement often pursues these cases aggressively due to media attention and public pressure. A conviction can lead to decades in prison—or even life without parole if kidnapping is involved—making strong legal representation absolutely critical.

What Are Carjacking Crimes?

Carjacking occurs when someone uses force or fear to take a vehicle directly from another person. Because this offense combines theft with violence or intimidation, it is prosecuted harshly, and prosecutors often push for maximum penalties.

Potential Penalties Include:

  • 3 to 9 years in state prison for each victim
  • Life in prison without parole if kidnapping occurs
  • Heavy fines and restitution orders
  • A violent felony strike under California’s Three Strikes Law
