Before you accept any plea bargain offered by the prosecutor, you should first speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney who can review the terms of your plea agreement and the facts of your case. A criminal defense attorney may determine that you have a strong legal argument in your defense, or the attorney may be able to negotiate a more favorable plea agreement that can reduce the severity of the consequences of your conviction. Even if you decide to accept the plea offer, an attorney can ensure that you understand the terms and consequences of your plea deal.
