FELONY DEFENSE LAWYER RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
The determination of when to best resolve a case depends on how serious the felony charge may be and the quality of the evidence.
Plea Bargain. A plea bargain is a resolution between the defense lawyer, client, judge and prosecutor that may include dismissal or reduction of the charges, no time in prison or jail, and other favorable terms.
Criminal justice lawyer Pflaum achieves excellent plea bargains by presenting favorable information about his client.
He also develops the strengths of his clients case by careful analysis of the evidence, scrutiny of the victim and witness statements, and finding weaknesses in the accuracy of the law enforcement investigation and prosecution case.
Jury Trial. Some cases, depending on the clients position, may proceed to jury trial where Mr. Pflaum has had substantial success.
Determining the most effective trial strategy depends first on the elements of the criminal accusation, the corresponding defenses, and the evidence available to the defense and prosecution.
Winning the trial continues by picking an excellent jury, making an effective opening statement, offering proper direct testimony, vigorously cross examining prosecution witnesses, and ending with a dynamic closing argument.
