Kidnapping Defense Lawyer James E. Silverstein

Prior to opening his own office, James E Silvestein worked extensively with the lead attorney on the Santa Barbara People v. Jesse James Hollywood kidnapping and murder case, which was the story line behind the 2007 Major Motion Picture "Alpha Dog."

Kidnapping is a criminal offense codified in California Penal Code Sections 207 and 209. Kidnapping involves the forcible abduction of a person and holding of that person against his will. This is an extremely serious charge which, if convicted upon, may expose the accused to a lengthy term in the state prison. It is therefore extremely important that you retain the services of an experienced, knowledgeable attorney to aggressively defend you and your rights immediately.

A kidnapping is generally classified as either an aggravated kidnapping, child kidnapping, kidnapping for ransom, parental kidnapping and simple kidnapping. A simple kidnapping conviction in California will result in a state prison sentence ranging from 3, 5 or 8 years, and if the kidnapping involves a child under 14 years old, then a state prison sentence of up to 11 years can be imposed.

A conviction for an aggravated kidnapping, as defined in Penal Code Section 209, can result in a lifetime sentence in the state penitentiary. An aggravated kidnapping charge involves an abduction with the intent to commit an additional crime with them, such as to extort ransom money for their return, to injure them, to sexually abuse them, to use them as a hostage, and so on. Your future depends on strong representation, and you owe it to yourself and your family to hire a gifted lawyer.

James E. Silverstein is innovative, tenacious, and he will do everything in his power to keep you out of jail and have the kidnapping crime charges against you dismissed or reduced.

Los Angeles Airport Court (felony, mult-victim grand theft suspect, with multiple theft-related prison priors, granted probation and given credit for time served with beach cleanup) 2009.

Generally speaking, a theft crime involves the unlawful taking away of another’s personal property with the intent to permanently deprive the person of the property. Theft, or stealing, can be committed in a variety of ways, including larceny, burglary, embezzlement, identity theft and shoplifting. A theft can also be a lesser-included offense when a person is charged with a robbery.
A theft can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. A petty theft, which occurs when the value of the “thing” stolen is less than $400.00, is a misdemeanor; a grand theft, which occurs when the value of the “thing” stolen exceeds $400.00, is generally a felony.

Penalties for theft are wide-ranging, but can include jail time, restitution, probation, and hefty fines. A theft-related conviction is also a crime of moral turpitude, and can have an adverse impact on professional licenses and/or a person’s immigration status. Attorney James E. Silverstein is educated and knowledgeable about such ancillary consequences, and will fight vigorously to ensure that your rights and your future are protected.

Marijuana Crimes Defense Lawyer James E. Silverstein

Van Nuys Court (District Attorney agrees to dismiss Client's Transportation of Marijuana case at Preliminary Hearing following Mr. Silverstein's presentation of a valid Medical Marijuana Defense pursuant to Proposition 215 and the Compassionate Use Act),2010.

California is at the heart of the medical marijuana legalization battle. At present time, the federal government considers marijuana use and possession illegal. However, California voters some years ago passed proposition 215, otherwise known as the “Compassionate Use Act.” This law gives individuals, who receive a recommendation to use medical marijuana by their doctor, the ability to use marijuana for treatment of their medical symptoms.

What are the parameters of the Compassionate Use Act? Does the Compassionate Use Act give a person who possesses marijuana immunity from prosecution, or does it simply provide them with a legal defense to their possession which must be raised in court by their criminal defense lawyer? What are the rights of a caregiver? To what level of protection is a caregiver provided under the law? What are the rights of medical marijuana dispensary owners and vendors? What are the rights of the medical marijuana growers? These, and many other issues, have caused confusion in, and among the California Courts.

The police and law enforcement agencies are not big fans of proposition 215, and its resulting codification in the California Health and Safety Code. They believe the law’s contours are very ambiguous, and create a breeding ground for abuse and misuse by savvy individuals. As a result, the police often employ an “arrest now, sort out any medical marijuana defenses later” approach.


Attorney James E. Silverstein is well aware of the confusion surrounding the legality of possession and distribution of marijuana for medical purposes. James E. Silverstein realizes the profound impact this controversy has on the lives of many of his clients, and he therefore aggressively pursues every update on the medical marijuana law controversy published. James E. Silverstein has read and carefully analyzed the Attorney General’s Opinion on the contours of Proposition 215 released towards the end of summer in 2008.


James E. Silverstien is innovative, tenacious, and he will do everything in his power to keep you out of jail and have the marijuana crime charges against you dismissed or reduced.

Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer James E. Silverstein

Sex crimes are some of the most severely punished crimes in California. Sex crimes include, but are not limited to forcible rape, child sexual molestation, child pornography, statutory rape, marital rape, bestiality, human sex-slave trafficking, prostitution, solicitation of prostitution, incest, indecent exposure, and sexual harassment.
Conviction of a Sex Crime in California can subject the individual to any or all of the following penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, steep fines, probation, parole, sexual counseling, inability to own, use, or possess a firearm, and a mark on the person’s criminal record for the rest of their life. Moreover, and often times more troubling than the other penalties for sex crimes, a person convicted of a sex crime may be required to register in an online database as a sex-offender for the rest of their life pursuant to California’s “Megan’s Law.”

While most criminal convictions can cast a dark cloud over the convicted individual’s reputation and character, no type of conviction can cast a bigger, darker cloud than a conviction for a sex crime. For those individuals who are convicted of a sex crime and sent to jail, they are often made a target for scorn and violence by other inmates. Moreover, even upon their release from custody, they are often required to register as a sex offender, and are kept under the constant watchful eyes of law enforcement.

Attorney James E. Silverstein is well aware of the serious nature and possible consequences of a sex crime. James E.

James E. Silverstein is a heavy-hitting, top-notch criminal defense lawyer, and has handled countless robbery cases. Attorney James E. Silverstein has the tools necessary to achieve excellent results for you. 


A robbery charge is one of the most serious charges one could face in California. Robbery is the theft of property from a victim’s person or possession by force, violence, or intimidation. Robbery is classified as either aggravated robbery, armed robbery, or simple robbery. Robbery is further sub-classified as either first degree robbery or second degree robbery.


First degree robbery is any robbery occurring in an inhabited dwelling, vessel, trailer and/or involving the driver of a motor vehicle. First degree robbery also encompasses ATM robberies and carjacking. Under most circumstances, a robbery is classified as a “strike” for purposes of the California “Three-Strikes” law. Second degree robbery addresses all other types of robbery.


A robbery charge is almost invariably filed as a felony, and the robbery subjects the defendant to stiff penalties, which include, but are not limited to, a state-prison sentence up to 10 years, large fines, victim restitution, parole, and a lifetime ban of the person’s right to own, use, or possess a firearm. A person convicted of felonious robbery will lose his right to vote, will probably lose his job, and he may find it difficult to obtain gainful employment in the future.
