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.

Juvenile Crime in the San Jose Valley.

Crime involving kids under 18 is certainly not unique to our area.  Unfortunately, juvenile crime rates run higher than average in the Bay area.  By county - Monterey, San Francisco, San Joaquin, and Alameda Counties rank one, two, three, and four in statewide rates for homicide for young people 10-24.

What are some of the most common juvenile charges?

1.  Larceny or theft.  Shoplifting, personal property…whatever it may be.

2.  Vandalism.  Kids seem to love altering the look of things and “showing the man”.

3.  Disorderly conduct.  Often time this happens at school.

4.  Alcohol.  They can’t wait to turn 21 and teenagers (just like adults) make bad decisions when drinking is involved.

Juvenile crime in the state of California is no joke.  The courts will not just give your kids a slap on the wrist.  One thing is certain…a conviction could affect your child for the rest of his or her life.  When a loved one is accused in this area turn immediately to San Jose juvenile crime defense attorney William Chestnut.  Put his four decades of experience to work for your family by calling (480) 298-6990.
