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.
