Rehab May Equal Reduction.

When someone has been convicted of a major crime the state wants to know that they are contrite.  It is not about what HAS happened, but rather the expectations of that individual’s behavior in the future.  That is why the state of California has rehabilitation programs for people who are truly trying to get on the right track.

There is a method by which past indiscretions can be mitigated through rehab.  Most of the felony and misdemeanor convictions in the Big Bear State can be cleared by a state court decision.  California is definitely NOT Texas!  This state is very forgiving and wants to give convicted felons a fresh start.

If you or a loved one are in this situation here is one important way you can take action.  Contact William Chestnut a noted rehabilitation lawyer serving the San Jose Valley in our state.  He will sit down with you and begin the process of taking your life back.  You won’t know until you call him for a sit-down at (408) 298-6990.

Defining Environmental Crime.

Just a handful of years ago environmentalists, government agencies, and environmental attorneys were still grappling with how to define exactly what was an environmental crime, what actions should be prosecuted, and what penalties were considered appropriate.  In the late 20th century it mostly defined polluting the water or contaminating the air.

Rather than calling all environmental crime white-collar crime, law professionals tried to develop a better definition. Some of the factors are: (1) the harm done, whether the action caused harm immediately or was only potentially harmful; (2) the action itself, ranging from littering to major dumping of hazardous wastes; and, (3) the offender, whether individual or corporation.

Being accused of an environmental crime can be frightening and confusing.  In the San Jose area one of the top environmental crime defense attorneys is William Chestnut.  Over the years, Bill has defined HIS defense of those accused and brings unique expertise to the table.  Please call him to day to discuss your case at (408) 298-6990.
