Defense approach
The defense strategy on every case is built from the police report, body-worn camera footage, dispatch records, and any other discovery the prosecution is required to produce. Tactics regularly used in Los Angeles County misdemeanor practice include:
- Motions to suppress evidence under Penal Code section 1538.5 where a stop, detention, search, or arrest was not supported by reasonable suspicion or probable cause
- Pitchess motions (Evidence Code sections 1043 to 1045) to obtain officer personnel records when officer credibility, prior dishonesty, or prior excessive force is at issue
- Motions to dismiss for speedy trial violations under Penal Code section 1382 and the Sixth Amendment (Serna motions)
- Challenges to Miranda violations and to the admissibility of statements obtained without a knowing and voluntary waiver
- Discovery motions under Penal Code section 1054 and Brady v. Maryland to compel disclosure of exculpatory material
- Negotiation of pretrial diversion under Penal Code section 1001.95 for eligible misdemeanors
- Mental health diversion under Penal Code section 1001.36 and military diversion under Penal Code section 1001.80 where applicable
- Negotiation of reductions to infractions, dismissal upon completion of conditions, and informal diversion
- Trial preparation and willingness to take cases to bench or jury trial when the prosecution’s offer does not reflect the evidence
Zak Fisher has obtained dismissals, reductions, and diversion entries in Los Angeles County misdemeanor cases. Specific results depend on the facts of each case, the assigned courtroom, the assigned deputy district attorney or city attorney, and the client’s prior record. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
