Domestic Violence in San Jose.

Domestic violence is in the news more and more because of high-profile athletes and the stories that we hear almost every week.  Domestic violence is defined as physical or emotional abuse caused by one person to control another. 

It is a very complicated and unique issue since there are always two sides to the situation.  A prosecutor only sees one side and asks for the maximum penalty allowed by the law.  Many times a false allegation leads to arrest and trial.

At times like this you need aggressive representation to defend you against the charge of domestic violence.  San Jose criminal attorney William Chestnut has defended hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases.  You must not trust your future freedom to just anyone.  Call Attorney William Chestnut regardless of the circumstances of the accusation so that he may help you sort things out.  Contact him anytime - day or night, at (408) 298-6990.

Hiring a Criminal Attorney in San Jose May Be Intimidating if English is Your Second Language.

When you or a loved-one is faced with the scary prospect of being accused of a crime it is very stressful.  If Spanish is your primary language it becomes even more intimidating.  You ask yourself if you will get the best possible representation because of a potential language barrier.  You must not take that risk!

Please visit the website of William Chestnut at www.williamchestnutlegal.com.  Here you will find a friend who has only your best interests at heart.  He will communicate with you in Spanish as well as English if you prefer and do his very best to defend your innocence in a court of law.

The decision to hire a criminal attorney is one of the most important ones you will ever make.  Hiring someone from a large firm and having one attorney that happens to speak Spanish may not be the correct decision.

How are San Jose Residents Effected by The Controlled Substances Act?

In the San Jose area, thousands of people are charged with drug crimes every year.  The U.S. Controlled Substances Act sets the criteria for what constitutes criminal offenses in the manufacturing, possession, sale and abuse of drugs. 

The list includes some of the most insidious drugs such as heroine, crack cocaine and meth, while there are some that when taken in moderation are actually beneficial.  For example, prescription drugs that have been abused because an individual has taken more than prescribed and they were purchased or sold illegally.

If you have sold or purchased some of the less dangerous drugs such as marijuana, prescription drugs or barbiturates you are just as guilty and you require strong representation in the San Jose area.  Contact The Law Offices of William Chestnut at (408) 298-6990 right away for aggressive help with your drug crime accusation.

Use Extra Caution When Driving or Walking During December.

More than 700 people nationally are expected to be injured or killed each DAY during December in drunken driving crashes alone, a rate two to three times higher than the rest of the year, according to the centers of Disease Control and Prevention.

If you could turn back the clock you would not have had that extra drink.  You would not have crossed the street while looking at your cell phone.  You would have taken an extra second to look both ways before turning into traffic.

Regardless of whom is at fault in these holiday season catastrophes you need the best representation possible if you are accused in any type of accident where you are deemed at fault.  It can literally be the difference between freedom and incarceration in 2015 and beyond.

You may rely on the Law Office of William Chestnut for aggressive representation against any criminal charge of which you may be accused.  This is already a stressful and difficult time.  Put your trust in William Chestnut and give him a call at (408) 298-6990 to handle your case anywhere in the San Jose California area.
