William Austin Chestnut Jr

We came to Law Offices of William Chestnut with a series of legal concerns we were trying to address with our own very cursory understanding of these subject matter areas. Mr Chestnut was able to meet with our friend right away! With everything addressed and accounted for so methodically, our lega...l matters ended on a very positive note.

Bill represented me for a traffic violation that I elected to contest. The case went to court and ended with a dismissal "in the interest in justice". I was completely satisfied with Bill. He was professional and very easy to work with. He worked on a fixed fee and did everything he said he would do.... As Bill said in our first meeting there are no guarantees, but I am very glad I decided to use an attorney and I would definitely recommend Bill.

William Chestnut has been my attorney for several criminal and civil cases. In each case I have been given full benefit of his knowledge. One example is a case where I had a violation of felony probation and the Judge was giving all violators three years in prison. There were to be no exceptions. T...he Judge stated anyone fighting this sentence would likely get an even longer sentence for wasting the Court's time. Mr. Chestnut prevented my case from going before this judge and I was released from jail in three months-no prison time and no extension of my probation -which was to be up in another month. I never had to wonder what was happening in my case-I was always well informed despite no information ever being received from the jail or the district attorney. Mr. Chestnut defended me in mental health court, prop 36 court, drug court , divorce court, restraining order court and in a worker's comp case. If it was not for his diligent and knowledgeable defense strategies I would not have had the opportunity to rebuild my life. I now have an excellent job, a car, my freedom, a place to live. Without him, I would have simply been another prison ID number that no one gave a rat's a-- about. My life is back on the right track because of Bill Chestnut.

I was a client of Mr. Chestnut. As a criminal defense attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Chestnut based on his professionalism, punctuality, willingness to listen in a compassionate manner, and most importantly, excellent negotiation skills with the Judge and DA resulting in success in obtaining... a fair and just resolution to the case.

I have worked with this attorney for nearly ten years in a business capacity. He has always been a pleasant, reliable, informative and dependable with the information that he provides to me. His immediate responsiveness, to my needs, are always appreciated, especially when dealing with sensitive f...inancial issues. To date, we have not lost a case together, yet. I depend on his decades of experience and welcome the feedback that he gives me concerning current or potential cases. He is always a "straight shooter". I will continue to work with Bill until he decides to retire (which of course I hope never happens). I would highly recommend working with him if your needs are in his purview. You will not be disappointed. I assure you.
