Accusations of fraud involve facts that a person used false information, deceit or a trick in order to gain a financial advantage (Penal Code sections 118, 470, 476, 548, 549, 550, 551).
Fraud is typically charged as a felony. The client is arrested and taken to jail.

- Violation of the right to remain silent
- Incomplete police investigation
- No proof that the client committed a fraudulent act

The effective resolution of the case depends on the state of the evidence, credibility of the victim, accuracy of accounting records, and quality of the investigation.
A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between defense lawyer Pflaum, his client, the judge and the prosecutor that may include dismissal or reduction of the original charges, no time in custody, and other favorable terms and conditions.
Good plea bargains come about because the attorney Pflaum knows his client well, investigates the case, reviews the accounting records, and examines the arrest reports to develop the strengths of the client’s case and the weaknesses in the prosecution file.
Some cases may go to trial. Winning the trial requires an outstanding opening statement, expert witness testimony, and cross examination of witnesses to create reasonable doubt about the guilt of the accused.
