Q: Is there a place of business in the San Jose area that I can get legal advice and clarification on a past criminal case.
Also, how would a person know for a fact that there may or may not have a strike on their record with a felony conviction with a firearm. No court documents or penal codes state so.
How can I find out for certain?

A:
In the San Jose area, you can seek legal advice and clarification on past criminal cases from law firms that handle criminal defense. Many of these firms offer consultations where you can discuss the specifics of your case and get professional guidance.
To find out if there is a strike on your record associated with a felony conviction involving a firearm, you should first review the sentencing documents from your case. If it's not clearly stated there, you may need to consult with an attorney who can help interpret the details of your conviction in the context of California's Three Strikes law.
Another option is to request your criminal record from the California Department of Justice. This record will include details of your convictions and can provide clarity on whether a strike was recorded.
If there are still uncertainties, an attorney can assist in analyzing your case history and advise you on the status of your record and any implications it may have.
