Criminal Defense & DUI

A plea bargain is a negotiation that occurs between the defendant and the prosecution. Between the two parties, an agreement is reached that helps save:

• Defendant’s time and cost of defense
• Prosecutions time and cost of a trial
• Court system time and cost burden of trials

In some cases, defendants are pleading guilty to charges that are less than what they were originally charged. The plea agreement will be presented to the Judge for approval. The Judge does not have to accept the deal, and may reject it. However, in most cases, except very egregious cases, the courts will accept a plea bargain.

In some cases, defendants may feel they are facing charges that are not warranted. In these cases, if we are unable to convince the prosecution to drop all charges, we will work with you to work on your defense. This process typically includes obtaining statements, reviewing the police reports and talking to witnesses who may have knowledge of the situation that resulted in your facing criminal charges. We will aggressively investigate all charges against you in order to mount the best possible defense.
