The ultimate Bay Area New Year’s Eve

(Click the link above for more information)

"This is no time for Bay Area casual, people! This is New Year’s Eve in the city with all the glitz, glam and gams galore that go with it, even here in tech town. It’s the one night of the year when a hipster can wear a tux and not be laughed out of the kombucha bar."

The History of Criminal Justice in America.

When early colonists first came to America, the group did not include trained lawyers (insert joke here) or other law-knowledgeable persons. Many parts of the criminal justice system in colonial America were similar to those in England and France.  Colonial America operated on the basic idea of the British common law system.

The legal process of trials in colonial America was quite different from the modern one in many ways.  An interrogation of the accused was usually held in the magistrate’s own house with a few marshals or deputies as witnesses. However, during this step in the procedure, no lawyers were involved on behalf of either party.

How very different things were!  Today, if you or a loved one are accused of a crime in Central California you can call on one of the best to defend you.  San Jose criminal defense attorney William Chestnut will vigorously defend YOUR side.  From Bill and his family and friends to all of you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Your Professional License may be Hanging in the Balance.

In the State of California if you are convicted, or even under investigation for a crime, then your professional license may be affected on a number of different levels.  Of course, a felony conviction would have a far greater impact on your future than would a misdemeanor, but either could be catastrophic!

Some vocations have stricter rules than others, but here are some of the careers that can be derailed in the Big Bear State.  Among others they are…accountants, attorneys (not surprisingly), people in the medical profession such as dentists, chiropractors, nurses, etc.  Even pharmacists may be affected by an investigation or conviction.

In the professional world you are always exposed even by the suspicion of a spurious deed.  Please call William Chestnut if you are under investigation for a felony or even a misdemeanor.  The stakes are way too high!  San Jose criminal defense attorney Bill Chestnut is ready to help in any way that he can.  Just call (408) 298-6990.
