SKILLED RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
BY THE CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN VISTA
The successful resolution of a criminal case depends on what is in the best interest of the client.
Petition to Dismiss. One way to resolve a case is by way of a petition to dismiss due to a violation of a constitutional right.
Sometimes the police do not comply with the United States Constitution during a detention, search or a seizure.
When this happens, people have a recourse in the courts.

Diversion. Diversion is a form of pretrial procedure in which a person accused of a crime does not enter a plea of guilty to the alleged crime.
Instead the client complies with certain conditions imposed by the court and completes a program of counseling which results in a dismissal of the case.
There are four types of diversion: Drug Diversion, Military Diversion, Mental Health Diversion, and Misdemeanor Diversion.
Jury Trial. Some cases, depending upon the clients position and the state of the evidence, may proceed to jury trial where Mr. Pflaum has substantial experience and success.
The right trial defense depends upon the circumstances of the case, whether the client chooses to testify, the credibility of the alleged victim, and the quality of police officer investigation and conclusions.
Plea Bargain. A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between the prosecution, judge, defense attorney and client that may include dismissal or reduction of the original charges, no time in prison or jail, alternatives to custody, and other favorable terms and conditions.
Mr. Pflaum achieves excellent plea bargains by developing the strengths of the defense case, uncovering the weaknesses in the prosecution file, and presenting crucial information about his client.
