Getting the best results in the criminal justice system requires preparation and dedication to serving people relentlessly.
The defense process begins with a consultation to find out from the client the details of the investigation, detention, and arrest. This information starts the process of building the defense strategy.
The next step is to take the time to know the client’s status in the community, personal information, and background. This information contributes to getting the optimal result in the case.
Finally it is vital to examine the arrest reports, evidence that comes in a wide variety of forms, statements by the alleged victim, and witness declarations. This information helps determine the strengths of the defense and weaknesses of the prosecution.
With this preparation in hand, the defense team is fully ready to proceed.

Resolution of the criminal case comes in many forms and at different times in the court process. Sometimes the fix comes quickly. Other times it requires multiple appearances in court. Either way attorney Pflaum does what it takes to keep his client informed and to work towards getting excellent results.
Before the first court date, a direct written request to the prosecutor to dismiss the charges, based on evidence the police overlooked or did not have access to at the time of the arrest, may be successful.
Once court proceedings begin, diversion is a court process in which a client does not plead guilty. Instead he or she complies with certain instructions from the judge like counseling or community service that, upon completion, results in a dismissal of the case.
The plea bargain is by far the most common and successful way that cases are resolved. The plea bargain is an agreement between the defense, the prosecution and the judge to dismiss or reduce the charges and avoid time in custody. The optimal plea bargains occur by presenting critical information about the strengths of the defense and exposing weaknesses in the prosecution.
Some cases may go to trial. Winning the trial requires an effective opening statement, examining prosecution witnesses to create reasonable doubt, and closing with a persuasive presentation for the right verdict of not guilty.
