EXCELLENT SERVICES
FROM THE VISTA CRIMINAL ATTORNEY FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT
There are many proven methods to successfully defend an allegation of sexual assault depending upon the circumstances and the alleged evidence in the case.
Attorney Pflaum begins the professional defense of his client by learning the facts of the case and clients general background.
He then analyzes the criminal file including statements from the alleged victim, witness statements, law enforcement reports and conclusions, 911 calls, medical records if applicable, and any other evidence seized by the police.
These are strategic defenses that attorney Pflaum may invoke on behalf of his client.
Many people who claim to be victims of a sexual assault have reasons not to tell the truth, have prior criminal records that make them not believable, or there are other circumstances that make their claims incredible.
There may also be a defense of lack of credibility since the background of alleged victim may show previous false claims or a claim based on a lawsuit to collect money.
Another defense may be consent. A person’s willingness to participate in sexual activity may be a complete defense in certain circumstances.
Another example of a defense is lack of evidence or sufficient proof if the case depends on one person’s word against another’s.
Some cases may rely on medical examinations of the alleged victim that are inconclusive.
SKILLED RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
BY THE VISTA LAWYER FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT
The question of how best and when to resolve a case depends on what is in the best interests of the client.
A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between the prosecution, judge, defense lawyer and client that may eliminate or reduce the charges, avoid or minimize the amount of time in prison and jail, or alternatives to custody, and eliminate the requirement to register as a sex offender.
Good plea bargains come about because criminal attorney Pflaum presents favorable information about his client to the judge and prosecutor and exposes weaknesses in the law enforcement case.
Some cases, depending on the clients preference and the state of the evidence, may proceed to 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.
