The right criminal attorney for embezzlement charges in San Diego has the expertise that makes the true difference for his clients. Criminal attorney David Pflaum aggressively defends his clients to deliver the right results.
Penal Code section 503 states that embezzlement is an accusation that a person in a position of trust took money that did not belong to him or her. This accusation most commonly arises from an employer or a non-profit organization where it is alleged that a person took money.
These are strategic defenses.
- Insufficiency of the evidence
- Improper book keeping records
- No corroboration
- Witness bias
- No proof beyond a reasonable doubt
- Violation of the right to remain silent
- Coerced confession
- No proof of financial loss
Effective resolution of the case depends on presenting critical information to the prosecution and judge about the strengths of the defense.
A request to the prosecutor before the first court date or afterwards to dismiss or reduce the charges based on new evidence is effective. Diversion is a strategic process in which a client agrees to follow certain instructions from the judge that upon completion results in dismissal of the case. The plea bargain is a beneficial agreement between the defense, prosecution and judge to dismiss or lower the charges, reduce the fines and penalties, and avoid time in custody.
