Top Lawyer
On September 18, 2007, Pacheco was named one of California's Top 100 Lawyers by the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journals. It was The Daily Journal Corporation’s tenth anniversary honoring California's most influential lawyers.
According to the Daily Journal, Pacheco was honored for "standing by his convictions even if it meant ruffling the feathers of the local legal community. He received heat from judges who said his tough stance against most pre-trial plea-bargaining pushed too many cases onto the court's packed calendar. Pacheco refused to bend, vowing not to 'surrender justice' to expediency or cave 'in the face of criticism.'"
