Once charges are filed, a case resolves by either negotiations (dismissal or plea bargain) or trial.
PLEA BARGAINS
In Sacramento County, certain court dates are set for your lawyer to discuss with the judge and prosecutor a resolution to your case. This office believes that the best
deals are made because of leverage. A lawyer needs to know the potential motions, potential factual issues, and the potential legal issues in the case. To this end. the office puts together the best
investigators and experts in the area to reduce charges, gain dismissals or lower any jail time.
TRIAL
If the charges cannot settle, the case will go to trial. This is the first time a defendant will hear the concepts of "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "presumption of
innocence". Mr. Dudek has obtained over fifty "NOT GUILTY" verdicts for his clients.
PHILOSOPHY
While the office has had great success in jury trials, it is Mr. Dudek's policy to attempt to gain dismissals before placing his clients at risk. The client's
interests always come first.
