A lawyer is responsible for explaining:
The reasoning (strengths and weaknesses) of the case
The probable outcome of a trial
The terms of the plea bargain offer
Possible sentences
A lawyer certainly should be providing all of the information necessary for the client to make a reasonable decision based on the likelihood of a variety of outcomes for their case, including any changes that might arise over time.
