Thank you for asking me “What can I do if I don’t like the Plea that I’m being Offered?”

The first thing that you’ve gotta understand is that you have no right to a plea bargain, and the second thing that you need to know is - by it’s very nature - a plea bargain is a negotiated agreement, meaning that both sides are usually gonna have to give up a little something to get themselves a little something, even though in most cases it’s the prosecutor who’s holding all the cards.

While you can’t force a prosecutor to offer you any particular, much less a “better” plea bargain you do have a few options:

1) You can always make a “counter-offer”, and this process can go back and forth as long as both sides are willing to negotiate; 2) You’re always free to bypass the prosecutor and plead straight up to the court; 3) You can build a solid defense (whether based on the evidence or with the use of expert witnesses) and prove your way into a better plea offer; 4) You can proceed to trial; 5) You can try to stall your case until your prosecutor is reassigned and a new one takes over; 6) You can try to go over your prosecutor’s head to her or his supervisor; 7) You can find yourself another lawyer who has a better "relationship" with a hostile prosecutor.

But, at the end of the day, if you’re not willing to either accept the final deal that the prosecutor has put on the table or to plead straight up to the court then you, my friend, are going to trial.
