Drug Trafficking Charge.

This is obviously serious business.  When simple drug possession becomes trafficking a whole new set of circumstances are in play.  This is not anything close to being caught with marijuana on your person or any other drug for that matter.  A drug trafficking conviction will haunt you for the rest of your life in attempting to get jobs and perhaps even where you live.

Drug trafficking by definition is the illegal sale or distribution of a controlled substance.  What is the difference between distribution and trafficking?  Distribution is a Class B felony which carries a maximum jail sentence of up to 20 years and a $10,000 fine.  You may not know this, but distribution can morph into trafficking just by the “weight” of the substances involved!

Something as seemingly innocuous as this could be the difference in how and where you will spend the rest of your life.  Without hesitation you must call Attorney William Chestnut.  He is an experienced drug trafficking defense lawyer in San Jose, California.  He will bring more than 40 years of experience and success to defend you aggressively.  Call Bill today for help with your case at (408) 298-6990.

Violent Crime Defense in California.

It isn’t our imagination…whether we like it or not violent crime seems to be more pervasive in the San Jose area.  Since the beginning of the century murders are up 33% (although down the last two years).  Robberies are up 20%.  Burglaries have risen a whopping 57%.  And, believe it or not, auto theft in our area has more than doubled!

Just because these crimes and others have escalated it does NOT mean that you or your loved one is guilty of what they are charged with.  Not only that, but the degree of the crime and the prior record of the defender will weigh heavily in the judge or jury’s decision.  Don’t think that an arrest for a particular violent crime is the end of life as you know it!

Do you need aggressive representation against the accusation of a major crime?  We urge you to call Attorney William Chestnut.  He is an experienced violent crime defense lawyer in San Jose California. He will bring nearly 40 years of experience and success to defend you ALL THE WAY.  Call Bill today for help with your case at (408) 298-6990.

California Latino Crime.

Are you aware of this startling statistic?  In the state of California Latinos are killed at TWICE the rate of Caucasians?  They are also far more likely to be killed by a stranger.  Latinos face challenges at every level of the justice system.  Often they are given stiffer penalties such as extended jail time and much higher fines.

Latinos are also more likely to experience multiple crimes.  In a survey of crime survivors, the culture has had nearly half of its population be subjected to three crimes or more!  The survey also uncovered that the Latino population in California has a much harder time accessing services after a crime has been committed.  There may be several reasons for that.

One thing for sure is that the Latino population of the greater San Jose area needs immediate and aggressive representation when a crime occurs.  We urge you to visit this website - www.williamchestnutlegal.com.  Attorney Chestnut brings nearly 4 decades of compassion to all of the great citizens of the area.  He is a San Jose California Latino defense attorney fluent in Spanish and English.  Call Bill today for help with your case at (408) 298-6990.

The Summer Increase in Drug Crimes.

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends in the San Jose area.  This is a time to celebrate life in the greatest country in the world and in one of its greatest areas to live.  Unfortunately, warm summers bring out the worst in some people while others are innocent victims of a false charge.  This is particularly true in the gray area of drug crime.

When someone is accused of said crime the question becomes are they being charged as a user, a trafficker, or something in between.  That gray area may the difference in the future freedom of you or someone that you love.  And know this…the police have stepped up their enforcement of drug crimes in the San Jose area and throughout California.
