Major California Drug Cases on the 2017 Docket.

It is always good to be informed.  California may have some landmark cases this year that will have an impact on drug law for years to come.  We thought that it would be wise to make you aware of one such case.  In particular, if you suffer from asthma or have a loved one who is so afflicted.

This case is T.H. vs Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.  This centers on product liability.  Can the asthma drug Novartis be held responsible for misrepresenting itself and failing to warn about a major side-effect that could occur.  In one particular case a pair of twins developed autism after their mother took Novartis for her asthma.

Cases such as these are many and varied.  We wanted you to be aware of one of them.  If you are faced with a criminal case as it pertains to drug possession or trafficking you have the comfort of relying on the four decades of experience of William Chestnut.  Bill is a San Jose CA drug criminal defense attorney.  Call him anytime at (480)  298-6990.

Violent Crime Charges in California.

A conviction for a violent crime in this state carries dire consequences.  We don’t want to put the fear of God into you, on the other hand we do.  The first thing to remember at the point of arrest is…keep your mouth shut!  There is nothing that you can say at this moment that will do you any good later on.  Please don’t feel the need to explain yourself at this time.

There are many levels of violent crime in California.  Among them are –

1.  Sexual assault (the classic “he said, she said)

2.  Carrying weapons
3.  Robbery (with a weapon)
4.  Theft (without one)
5.  Destruction of property may even fall into this category

We said to keep your mouth shut, but there is one thing that you or a loved one must do.  You need to find the best attorney to defend you.  That is why people in the area turn to San Jose violent crime defense attorney William Chestnut.  For more than four decades Bill has been protecting the rights of the accused.  Call him today at (408) 298-6990.

A Charge of Theft in California.

If it doesn’t belong to you…don’t take it!  These are good words to live by.  Theft in the state of California is taken very seriously by prosecutors whether it is a first time incident or not.  And, if you are old enough to know better the consequences could be severe.  There is probation (at least), jail time, and repayment of the goods stolen…not to mention your permanent record.

You might think that what you or your loved one stole will be forgiven with restitution, but don’t make that error in judgement.  There are “white collar” crimes such as fraud of various types and “blue collar” crimes including theft, heist of a motor vehicle, burglary, and robbery.  Robbery generally means that force was utilized in the commission of the crime.

Whatever you or someone you care about is accused of DO NOT just wait around for a court date.  Take immediate action!  Call San Jose theft defense attorney William Chestnut immediately.  He has been defending good people in California criminal courts for more than four decades.  Call today at (408) 298-6990.

Don’t Give Up Your Dream.

For years…maybe your entire life you have dreamed of being an entrepreneur.  Working for yourself requires long hours and laser-focused dedication, but for many it is worth it.  There are many different professions that require specific licensing in the state of California such as teaching, contracting, real estate sales, etc.

Then there is California law SR-22.  There is much confusion about how this connects with DUI convictions in the state.  You must obtain an SR-22 form if you wish to reinstate your driver’s license following a DMV suspension.  This is not the only circumstance whereby an SR-22 may come into play.

The point is this…if you have been convicted of a DUI in the state of California and you wish to own a business you will most likely need the help of an attorney who knows the ins and outs of this form.  For decades people in our area have relied on San Jose DUI defense attorney William Chestnut for aggressive and successful representation.  Give Bill a call at (408) 298-6990.

Gotta Go to Rehab…I say yes, yes, yes.

Rehabilitation is, and continues to be, a viable option in the State of California.  Why?  Because a criminal conviction could and probably will hamstring you for the rest of your life.  You don’t even want to know how potential employers will look at you with that nasty criminal conviction on your permanent record!

Now add the internet to your dilemma.  And, there are agencies out there that will sell all of your personal information to anyone who is willing to pay.  You can’t blame the potential employer who is just looking for the right applicant for the job.  There is a way to mitigate the damage done by a criminal conviction. 

In California, we have the most “pardoning governor” in the country.  Good old Jerry Brown has been on board off and on since the days of “flower power”.  Your individual situation is of great interest to San Jose criminal rehabilitation attorney William Chestnut.  If there is a way around this permanent stain on your reputation attorney Chestnut will find it.  Call him at (480) 298-6990 for an appointment at his office on Moorpark Ave. in San Jose.
