SKILLED RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
The question of how and when to resolve a case depends on what is best for the client.
A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between the criminal justice lawyer, his client, the judge and the prosecutor.
The plea bargain most often includes dismissal or reduction of the original charges, no time in custody, and other favorable terms.
Mr. Pflaum gets excellent plea bargains by presenting favorable information about his client to the judge and prosecutor, emphasizing the strengths of the defense, and exposing weaknesses in the prosecution case.
Some cases, depending on the clients preference and the state of the evidence, may go to trial.
Winning the jury trial begins by making a strong opening statement, creating reasonable doubt about the evidence, cross examining witnesses, and finishing with a persuasive presentation for a not guilty verdict.

MORE ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES
The term domestic violence applies to a wide range of supposedly criminal actions between husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend, legal partners, gay or lesbian couples, and people who live together in a romantic relationship.
These types of cases almost always start with a call to 911 from either a person involved in a dispute or from a neighbor or a witness.
More than one police officer will be dispatched to the scene to investigate the case. The police will interview everyone at the scene and photograph any alleged injuries. The police will then arrest the person believed to be the primary aggressor and take him or her to jail.
The person arrested will generally be booked into jail for a felony. Bail will generally be set at an amount between $10,000 and $50,000 according to the San Diego County Bail Schedule.
The police then forward the arrest report to the prosecutor’s office which will determine whether to press charges in court.
Depending upon the time and day of the arrest, the person who was arrested if he/she is in custody will generally be brought to court within two business days to begin the process of fighting the charges.
