California Latino Crime.

Are you aware of this startling statistic?  In the state of California Latinos are killed at TWICE the rate of Caucasians?  They are also far more likely to be killed by a stranger.  Latinos face challenges at every level of the justice system.  Often they are given stiffer penalties such as extended jail time and much higher fines.

Latinos are also more likely to experience multiple crimes.  In a survey of crime survivors, the culture has had nearly half of its population be subjected to three crimes or more!  The survey also uncovered that the Latino population in California has a much harder time accessing services after a crime has been committed.  There may be several reasons for that.

One thing for sure is that the Latino population of the greater San Jose area needs immediate and aggressive representation when a crime occurs.  We urge you to visit this website - www.williamchestnutlegal.com.  Attorney Chestnut brings nearly 4 decades of compassion to all of the great citizens of the area.  He is a San Jose California Latino defense attorney fluent in Spanish and English.  Call Bill today for help with your case at (408) 298-6990.

Crime Comes in all Shapes, Sizes, and Colors.

With all of the news we have been experiencing lately you might begin to believe that we are living in a society ruled by anarchy.  America is the world’s test tube of how different races, creeds, and cultures can come together in harmony.  Lately, with all of the discord don’t think that California’s third largest city is immune.

To continue functioning as a society quality law enforcement is a must, but not brutality…and certainly not vengeance.  The San Jose area is a melting pot of diversity. 
Interpretation of the way law enforcement is handled is the job of the courts.  Now, more than ever, you need the best possible representation if you are accused of a crime. 

For the very best criminal legal representation in the San Jose area contact the law office William Chestnut in San Jose.  Call him now at (408) 298-6990.  The interpretation of crime and punishment may be changing dramatically in our country.  Your future freedom is too important to leave to chance.

The Summer Increase in Drug Crimes.

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends in the San Jose area.  This is a time to celebrate life in the greatest country in the world and in one of its greatest areas to live.  Unfortunately, warm summers bring out the worst in some people while others are innocent victims of a false charge.  This is particularly true in the gray area of drug crime.

When someone is accused of said crime the question becomes are they being charged as a user, a trafficker, or something in between.  That gray area may the difference in the future freedom of you or someone that you love.  And know this…the police have stepped up their enforcement of drug crimes in the San Jose area and throughout California.

Attorney William Chestnut brings nearly 4 decades of dealing with people accused of any and all related charges.  Attorney Chestnut is a San Jose California drug possession defense attorney fluent in Spanish and English.  If you are arrested DO NOT deal with the police!  Call Bill today for aggressive help with your drug crime case at (408) 298-6990.

Petty Theft in California.

Good people make big mistakes.  In the summertime more people are out running around including teenagers.  What seems like an innocuous one-time lapse of judgement could turn into something that haunts you for the rest of your life.  Just because you or someone you love has no previous criminal record doesn’t mean that the California court system will give you a pass.

If you are convicted of a theft crime in the Big Bear State the consequences are long-term.  You may be one of the lucky ones who just gets probation, but many receive jail time and a big fine to pay back what was stolen.  Here is the problem…that conviction stays on your record for LIFE!  Talk about messing up your future.

If you or a loved one has been arrested for a crime such as this do not wait for the shoe to drop.  Your future freedom is on the line here.  Immediately call San Jose petty theft defense attorney William Chestnut.  Bill has been defending accused criminals of all types for well over 3 decades and is fluent in Spanish.  Call him for a free consultation at (408) 298-6990.
