More is More.

It seems like a simple statement, but in California if you are found in possession of certain dangerous drugs, you may face criminal charges.  However, if you are found in possession of larger quantities of those drugs, packaged drugs to sell, or other signs that the drugs are intended for distribution, you could face higher penalties, including felony drug charges.

The penalties for possession with intent to sell depend on a number of factors, including how much you have in your possession, type of substance, and whether any other criminal activity may have been taking place.  Possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell is not limited to illegal narcotics, it can also include pharmaceutical drugs.

Drugs whether they be prescribed or illegal throughout the Big Bear State must never be trafficked!  That is a given.  Maybe you or a loved one have been arrested for the possession of an amount of drugs that have been deemed intended for distribution.  If so, fight back with the steady hand of San Jose criminal attorney William Chestnut.  Call Bill at (408) 298-6990.

Gavin Newsom Please Hear my Plea!

If you did not know, Gavin Newsom has taken over for Jerry Brown as the governor of California.  In case you were not aware, if you have been convicted of a felony in the Big Bear State AND since your conviction you have had no further criminal charges or convictions, you may be eligible for a pardon from the governor of our state.

Here are a few steps in applying for that pardon –

1.  A Certificate of Rehabilitation is an order that can be issued by a Superior Court judge.
2.  You may obtain an application packet for a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
3.  Perfectly complete that application.

That last part will be much easier if you retain the services of San Jose criminal defense attorney William Chestnut.  Bill has been helping the convicted felons of California properly prepare and submit a Certificate of Rehabilitation to several different governors over his four plus decades of service.  Call William Chestnut and see if you qualify at (408) 298-6990.
