IMPORTANT SERVIES
FROM THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN ENCINITAS
The first important part of a defense is for attorney Pflaum to meet with the client and find out from him or her the facts of the detention and arrest.
Get Out Of Jail. Most felony cases begin with an arrest and the accused is put in jail where he or she remains until bail is posted or the judge releases the accused.
The procedures to get a person out of custody depend on the circumstances of the alleged crime, the position of the alleged victim, the present status of the accused, i.e., ties to the community, employment, ownership of property, age, health, prior criminal record, military experience and character references.

EFFECTIVE RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
Both misdemeanor and felony cases are resolved 95% of the time during the court process by way of a plea bargain.
A client is under no obligation to accept a plea bargain offer, but plea bargaining is the first stage of every prosecution.
A plea bargain is an agreement between the prosecution, judge, defense attorney and client to resolve a case before trial.
A plea bargain may include dismissal or reduction of the original charges with an agreement of no additional time in prison or custody, and other favorable terms.
Attorney Pflaum gets excellent plea bargains.
He exposes key weaknesses in the prosecution case, emphasizes the strengths of the defense case, and presents crucial information about his client to the judge and prosecutor.
Some cases, depending on the state of the evidence and the client’s preference, may go to jury trial.
Winning a jury trial requires preparation and the expertise that comes from many years of experience.
The effective criminal justice lawyer must capture the jury’s attention, make 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.
