FAQ: Should I take a plea bargain?
It depends on the strength of the prosecution’s case. A plea bargain means that you will be admitting guilt—so you will have a criminal record and serve punishment for committing a crime. Accepting a plea bargain is a decision that should never be made lightly. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will help you understand whether the plea being offered is a good deal so that you can make an informed decision about whether to risk trial.
