Questions
Should I accept a plea deal?
You should never accept a plea deal without first consulting a lawyer. While a plea agreement can sometimes reduce potential penalties, it also requires you to give up important rights and will sometimes result in a conviction and a criminal record. An experienced criminal defense attorney can evaluate the offer, explain the consequences, and help you weigh your options—but the final decision is always yours.
