When things Go South Quickly.

Maybe it starts with a disagreement.  Perhaps it was pre-determined.  Whatever the case may be, when you or a loved one is arrested for an alleged violent crime all bets are off.  The situation just got real!  Make no mistake about it, if you are convicted for committing a violent crime, things will never be the same again.

I know it may be remedial, but here are some types of violent crimes –

1.  Weapons charges.  Why were you packing?  It is too late to change that now.

2.  Property offenses.  This covers a gamut of different things.

3.  Assault.  What I mentioned earlier about a disagreement leading to disastrous events.

4.  Sexual assault.  Ripped from today’s headlines.

5.  Rape.  Ditto.

You don’t need a good lawyer.  Say what?  You need a great attorney!  I am William Chestnut.  I have defended violent crime accusations for more than four decades in the San Jose California area.  Call me Bill, but definitely call me.  Let’s tackle this charge together.  That phone number is (408) 298-6990.

Defining Fraud.

Here is a white-collar crime with a number of different meanings attached to it.  Specifically, criminal fraud involves using a lie, deception, falsehood, or dishonesty in an attempt to gain a benefit.  Fraud can also be a civil wrong-doing meaning that victims can bring a civil lawsuit for money damages, to fairly compensate them for the losses they suffered as a result of the fraud.

Types of fraud in California may include –

1.  Computer or internet fraud…a growth industry for sure!

2.  Benefits.  Someone has been arrested for dipping into a company’s benefits program.

3.  Welfare.  It is very common as people on the edge try to “get an edge”.

4.  Workers’ comp.  Obviously, there are many who may have exaggerated their claims.

Fraud involves a great deal of complicated legal matters.  If you or a loved one have been arrested, please call William Chestnut.  He is a San Jose California area fraud attorney who has just about seen all of its versions in his four and a half decades defending central and northern California.  Arrange a consultation with Bill Chestnut by calling (408) 298-6990.
