The preeminent criminal defense attorney Michael Chastaine established Chastaine Law, and now the new owner, superior attorney Martin Jones has taken over his legacy as Chastaine | Jones Criminal Defense Attorneys Law Firm.
Successful criminal defense requires strong and aggressive legal advocacy. Our attorneys have had numerous successes in jury trials and negotiations, as well as Megan’s law, Jessica’s law, Section 290 Sex Offender Registration issues, and many other criminal matters.
"Mr. Martin Jones of Chastaine Jones Criminal Defense Attorneys was referred to a friend of mine by another attorney and we are very satisfied by his work. My friend was facing years in prison and his family was ready to sell all of their belongings to be able to afford the court case, but Mr. Jones both cleared his name and sent him home quickly at a good price. We knew we had his support every step of the way. He is a very intelligent, honest, and helpful person."
"Martin surpassed my expectations for legal counsel. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking experienced, approachable, and comprehensive legal defense. It was apparent upon meeting Martin that he is very adept with the law and legal process, as he was able to immediately identify the strengths and opportunities for defense."
"Mr. Jones was confident, knowledgeable and really fought hard for me from day 1. He attended my probation review, advised me with the steps I needed to take and after a few months negotiated a plea. I still am shocked by how effective he was in handling my case. It is not a stretch to say he virtually saved me and my career. Forget Call Saul, Phone Jones, he really is the best!!!"
"Martin is a brilliant defense attorney who I would always trust in the future. Good communicator and provided an accurate and comprehensive review. Immediately he was clear the case was bogus and it would be thrown out of court, which it eventually was."
"Mr. Jones and his team did an outstanding job. They were excellent communicators, and always accessible. They were remarkably supportive. They are consummate professionals who possess outstanding legal skill, but they also are excellent in the people-skill department, as well. I highly recommend this firm without reservation."
"My original opinion of the PD was that it was the option of last resort. I now believe it may be the option of first resort. . He has a good working knowledge of the court room and helped us understand how the system worked. He appeared to have good relations with the district attorneys office. I interviewed several private attorneys all them knew Mr Jones, spoke highly of him and recommended that I stick with him. I’m sure that attorneys for the PD’s carry heavy case loads. Mr Jones responded to our calls and emails in a timely manor. In court he always made time for our questions. I would like to thank Martin Jones and the PD’s office for their service."

The simple answer is yes. Criminal law is an adversarial process. The government has many resources and highly trained attorneys with one goal in mind – to convict you of a crime. You must protect yourself. Whether you are innocent or are just looking for fair treatment, you have to fight back. The government will take advantage of your lack of knowledge if you don’t have a skilled lawyer at your side.
Being convicted of a crime can result in jail time or a prison sentence. It can also come with restrictive and expensive conditions of probation, loss of gun rights and sometimes impact other areas such as immigration and employment. You need to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer to improve your chances of a favorable outcome in all of these areas.
