HOW THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER GETS THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS

Investigation. If you are under investigation for a crime by child protective services or law enforcement, call attorney Pflaum immediately.  Do not wait.  Try to get the name and telephone number of the investigator and call our law office now.  24/7

Office Consultation. Mr. Pflaum meets with his client to learn everything he can about the detention and arrest, as well as the client’s standing in the community, background, employment, military history, education, and mental and physical health.

Get out of Jail. If the accused is charged with a felony and is in jail, there are several ways criminal lawyer Pflaum can help him or her get released before the first court date, or during the first court date at the arraignment.

Click on the word “released” in blue for more information about getting out of jail as soon as possible.

Contact the Prosecutor’s Office. Depending upon the circumstances, such as assistance from the alleged victim, interviews with witnesses, and additional facts about the arrest, the defense lawyer gets vital information about the case as soon as possible.

The lawyer then delivers the most important information to the prosecutor’s office as soon as possible. The goal is to persuade the prosecutor’s office not to file any criminal charges against the arrested person, or to reduce the charges.

DEFENSE STRATEGIES

There are many defenses for an accusation.  The right defense depends upon the client, the type of case, the criminal charges, the state of the evidence, forensic evidence, DNA, expert testimony, witness testimony, the police reports, photographs, 911 calls, official records, and the credibility of the witness/es or lack of witness/es.

Defense Strategies. Some typical defenses may be no proof beyond a reasonable doubt, no criminal intent, or insufficient evidence to prove the case because the prosecution witnesses could not testify effectively against the client.

There may also be no corroboration for the prosecution’s case, no motive, no identification of the defendant, so the jury cannot reach a verdict.

HOW THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN EL CAJON HELPS HIS CLIENT IN COURT

For both misdemeanor and felony matters, most cases are resolved during the court process by way of a plea bargain.  So it is super important to have a criminal defense lawyer on your side who knows how to achieve the best possible plea bargain.

Plea Bargain. If the prosecutor’s office decides to file criminal charges against the accused, Mr. Pflaum gets prepared to go to court to try to achieve an excellent plea bargain. A plea bargain is an agreement between the client, the criminal defense attorney, the prosecutor and the judge that should include a reduction of the original charges and an agreement on punishment that are favorable to the client.

Preparation For The Plea Bargain Process. Continues by reviewing the arrest reports, the basis for the detention and the arrest, diagrams of the area of detention and arrest, expert reports, crime lab analysis results, witness statements, video and surveillance tapes, phone records, medical records, and any other evidence that the police claim supports the charges.

The criminal defense lawyer is then able to determine the strengths of the client’s case, and the weaknesses of the prosecution’s case, in order to get an excellent plea bargain offer.

If the plea bargain is accepted by the client and the defense lawyer, the judge will sentence the client in accordance with the agreement.

If the plea bargain is not accepted, the case continues in order to gather additional information, or to  head towards a jury trial.

Jury Trial. Some cases, depending upon the circumstances, the evidence, and the client’s preference, may go to jury trial where Mr. Pflaum has many many years of successful experience.
