CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEFENSE STRATEGIES
The professional defense begins with an office consultation.
During the consultation attorney Pflaum explores the facts of the investigation and/or arrest with his client and learns about the clients general background.
The next step is to carefully examine the prosecution file with the client.
This enables attorney Pflaum and his client to determine the accuracy of the investigation, quality of the evidence, credibility of the alleged victim, reliability of witnesses, and an effective defense strategy.
These are some strategic defenses.
- Insufficiency of the evidence
- Lack of motive
- Victim bias not to tell the truth
- No independent corroboration
- Violation of rights
- Inconsistent testimony
- Incomplete police investigation
- Unreliable expert testimony
- Self defense
- Defense of another
SKILLED RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
BY THE SAN DIEGO CRIMINAL ATTORNEY
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 San Diego criminal justice lawyer, his client, the prosecutor and the judge.
The plea bargain should 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 and presents crucial information about his client to the presiding judge and prosecutor.
See plea bargains for examples.
Some cases may be resolved by way of a jury trial.
Winning a jury trial requires preparation and the expertise that comes only from many years of experience.
The successful trial lawyer must capture the jury’s attention with 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 details.
