LEGAL SERVICE
FROM THE CRIMINAL LAWYER IN CARMEL VALLEY
The effective resolution of a criminal case depends on what is in the best interest of the client.
One common method is by way of a plea bargain.
A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between the defense lawyer, his client, the prosecutor and the judge.
The plea bargain may include dismissal or reduction of the criminal charges, no time in jail, and other favorable terms for the client.
Attorney Pflaum gets excellent plea bargains.
He exposes key weaknesses in the prosecution case, emphasizes the strengths of the defense case, and presents crucial information about his client to the judge and prosecutor.
See plea bargains for some examples.
Some cases may be resolved by way of a jury trial.
Winning a jury trial requires preparation and the expertise that comes from many years of experience.
The effective criminal justice lawyer must capture the jury’s attention, make a very strong opening statement, demonstrate by examination of the prosecution witnesses that they are not credible, offer evidence and witnesses that support the defense, and finish with a bold argument for innocence.
See jury trials for more details.
