a plea bargain is a binding agreement
between the prosecutor and the defendant
that settles one or more criminal
charges without incurring the time
expense and uncertainty of a jury trial
In a written plea agreement the
defendant agrees to plead guilty often
in exchange for a reduced charge a
dismissal of some of the counts or maybe
a minimized sentence At Right Law Group
our approach to plea negotiations is all
about analyzing the facts and
circumstances of your specific situation
First we’ll obtain and review all of the
state’s evidence Next we’ll schedule a
strategy session with you to determine
the best course of action And during
that strategy session we’ll discuss the
evidence and any defenses you may have
and all the other mitigating factors
that need to be considered It’s
important that we make the prosecutor
see you as a person and not just another
criminal defendant Finally if you agree
we can engage in negotiations with the
prosecutor from this position of
knowledge and preparedness Lastly it’s
important to note that the decision of
whether or not to accept a plea offer is
100% your decision We’ll never try to
force you to accept a plea What you get
from us is our thorough analysis of your
case and an unbiased opinion about all
of your options The advice is ours but
the decision is yours You always have
the right to plead not guilty and have
your day in court in front of the jury
