A skilled Escondido defense lawyer for petty theft, David Pflaum relies on more than 30 years of experience to effectively represent his clients. Keeping the client’s record free of a theft-related conviction is a high priority.
Accusations of petty theft typically arise at the location of a retail store. A store loss prevention officer will detain the individual, escort him or her to an office, discuss the case, search personal items, then call the police. The police continue the investigation and give the individual a written Notice To Appear in court.
The effective defender begins with a consultation to learn about the facts of the case. Next he takes the time to learn about the client’s background since it may play a vital part in resolving the case. Finally attorney Pflaum examines the police reports, witness statements, loss prevention declarations, and when applicable store surveillance video.
Successful resolution of the case depends on presenting critical information about the strengths of the defense to the prosecution and judge. Diversion is a strategic court process in which a client agrees to follow certain instructions from the judge like counseling or community service that upon completion results in a dismissal of the case. The plea bargain is a beneficial agreement between the defense, prosecution and judge to dismiss or lower the charges and reduce the punishment.
