A plea bargain is a binding agreement between the prosecutor and the defendant 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.

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.
