In the Beginning…the Lawyer Created the Opening Statement.

This is not a line from Genesis, but rather the bible of all attorneys.  My opening statement provides the first impression of your case and shapes the impressions of the jury.  An opening statement forecasts to the jury the evidence they will see and hear during the trial and allows the jury to know what to expect and to be able to understand the evidence when it is presented.

Here are some of the things I will do in my opening statement –

1.  Tell a compelling story
2.  Present some of the facts in a decisive and persuasive manner
3.  Connect with the jurors
4.  Explain our side briefly, but convincingly

It is one of the traits that has put me in good stead in California criminal courtrooms for decades.  I have honed my opening statement skills through time and practice and will bring that expertise to bear in defending YOU!  My name is William Chestnut.  If you are looking for strong, honest criminal defense please call me at (408) 298-6990.
