I was told by another attorney that I would face jail time, but Patrick was able to reduce my charges significantly. His hard work and preparation made all the difference. Grateful for his help!

Frequently asked questions

When Should I Accept The Plea Bargain In My Case?

You should accept a plea bargain when you've consulted thoroughly with your attorney and determined that no better alternatives are available.

What Are The Alternatives To Pleading Guilty?

Alternatives include going to trial, negotiating for a better plea, or pursuing motions to dismiss or suppress evidence if there are valid legal grounds.

How Does Pleading Guilty Remove Any Chances Of Appellate Relief?

While pleading guilty typically waives your right to appeal in state court, in federal court you might enter a conditional plea that allows appeals on specific issues.

I Know I Am Guilty Of At Least Some Of What I Am Accused Of Doing. I Have A Court Date Coming Up. Shouldn’t I Just Go Ahead And Plead Guilty And Get It Over With?

Only proceed to plead guilty if that's the best decision after a complete discussion with your attorney. It's essential to seek the best outcome, since you are considered innocent until proven guilty.

What Are The Disadvantages To Pleading Guilty In My Criminal Case?

Pleading guilty could eliminate the chance of winning at trial or obtaining a better plea. Additionally, it can lead to a criminal record impacting various aspects of life.

Will My Punishment Be Worse If I Am Found Guilty At Trial Than Had I Taken A Plea?

There is a strong possibility it could be worse. If you go to trial and are convicted, the judge will base your sentence on the actual charges, which may result in a harsher outcome.

Can A Guilty Plea Be Withdrawn?

Under some conditions, it may be possible to withdraw a guilty plea, especially if your attorney didn’t inform you about immigration consequences.

Can A Defendant Plead Guilty If They Aren’t?

Yes, a defendant can plead guilty, but why would you? The prosecution bears the burden of proof; it’s crucial to make them fulfill that obligation.

Can There Be A Plea Bargain Without The Prosecutor’s Approval?

It varies. While judges cannot drop or lessen charges without the prosecutor’s agreement, they can impose a lighter sentence.

Does The Judge Have To Accept A Plea Bargain?

Judges do not have to accept plea bargains, but they usually do as long as the legal requirements for a plea are met.
