Domestic Violence During the Holidays.

Domestic violence is a growing problem during the holidays as it is every year.  There is so much increased stress with gift giving and family gatherings.  When all is said and done sometimes the wrong thing is said to the wrong person at the wrong time and anger erupts.  Sometimes a family gathering is like fish if it is left sitting out too long- it goes bad!

If alcohol and drugs are added to the mix things can go wrong very quickly.  The more people that are involved the more witnesses and interpretations there will be.  We hope that none of this applies to any type of gathering that you will be a part of during this holiday season.  Use discretion and walk away from any potential confrontation.

If you are involved in a misunderstanding that leads to domestic violence this holiday season please reach out to San Jose Criminal attorney William Chestnut.  For more than 35 Christmas seasons he has helped people from throughout the San Jose Valley with vigorous defense in all types of criminal cases.  Give him a call at (408) 298-6990.  Have a safe and wonderful holiday season from the law office of William Chestnut.

An Increase in Crime During the Holidays.

The holiday season seems to create more crime.  Maybe you needed extra money for presents or you just felt a sense of hopelessness at this time of year.  Needless to say this season comes with an excess of DUI’s as well.   A combination of celebration and seasonal depression can lead to a spike around the holidays, but the result is the same if you find yourself facing a DUI charge.

In San Jose, if you are arrested for a criminal DUI, there are certain steps you can take to help avoid a conviction.  Everyone knows that driving a vehicle under the influence carries serious consequences.  The authorities do not care that you were celebrating a company party.
