The Chastaine Law Office

Creative Solutions for Difficult Problems

With over 25 years of criminal law experience, attorney MICHAEL CHASTAINE -- founding member of The Chastaine Law Office -- has established a reputation as one of California's preeminent criminal defense attorneys. In recognition of his work, Mr. Chastaine was named by his peers as a SUPER LAWYER in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Based in Folsom, The Chastaine Law Office provides uncompromising, innovative legal advice and representation to people throughout Northern California who have been charged with criminal misconduct, including in the counties of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, Solano, Amador, and San Joaquin. Our approach is simple: it's all about the client.

Being accused of criminal conduct is frightening. Even innocent people can be arrested, incur loss of income and reputation, and suffer the risk of lengthy incarceration. The criminal justice system is an adversarial system. If you are accused of a crime, you need a strong attorney who is not afraid to take on law enforcement. You need an aggressive advocate who knows how to protect your rights, fight the system, and present the evidence that is favorable to your position.

At The Chastaine Law Office, we truly care what happens to you. While our primary focus continues to be the representation of people accused of criminal misconduct, we also offer assistance in the areas of personal injury, family law, and administrative law. Our job is to help you resolve your legal problems so that you can get your life back on track. Contact us today to inquire about our free initial consultations. We offer evening and weekend office hours by appointment.

The Chastaine Law Office in Folsom provides criminal defense legal services in Sacramento and surrounding areas, including Auburn, Placerville, Woodland, Granite Bay, and Roseville.

Up late at night

It's almost 4 in the morning and I can't sleep. This is very rare for me, not being able to sleep. I didn't workout today which is part of the problem. the other is the stress or work, home and family. Owning a business (something I never really wanted to do) can cause sleepless nights, especially in this economy. So here I am, opening up a new blog page at 4 in the morning on my Ipad. I wonder is all this technology is the basic problem. The more stuff we have to make our lives easier, the more complex it becomes.

For me, that is the great beauty of exercise and adventure racing. The act it self is simple and very primal. The concerns are simple and fundamental. food, warmth and getting to the next checkpoint.

I need to breath more and focus on the problems at hand and they will pass.
