There’s Good News and Bad News.

Generally speaking, that is usually the way things are.  In the latest reporting year of 2017 did you know that violent crime in California was up 1.5%, BUT the levels are comparable to the late 1960’s?  The violent crime rate in the Big Bear State has decreased substantially in the last 30 years and that’s good news!

The Public Policy Institute of California puts it into perspective.  Through 2017 59% of reported violent crimes in California were aggravated assaults, 32% were robberies, 8% were rapes, and 1% were homicides.  Perhaps none of this means much to you…unless you or a loved one has been detained on one of these charges in 2020.

Now, it gets really personal!  If you or anyone you care about is accused of a violent crime in the greater San Jose area please call on me.  I am San Jose criminal defense attorney William Chestnut.  You can call me Bill, but just call me.  Personally, I thought it was a crime that The Sharks let Joe Pavelski get away!  My number is (408) 298-6990.
