Question:
If I Get Offered a Plea Bargain, Should I Take It?
Answer:
If you are in a situation like many of our clients find themselves in, if you’re arrested here in Orange or Osceola County, which is Orlando or Kissimmee, if you do not have the benefit of a lawyer, many times, the state attorney, which is the one that’s going to be going against you in prosecuting your case, will oftentimes make a plea offer to you. Sometimes they get sneaky about it and they make those plea offers to you while you’re sitting in jail. What do you want to do while you’re sitting in jail? You want to get out. Many times, many past clients, they want to get out regardless of what the consequences can be.
Unfortunately, they are in the system. They don’t know that if they speak to an attorney, that those things could be different. You could get a bondsman. You could bail out. You can do anything and then investigate the case and determine whether this plea is good for you. If you’re ever in that situation, we advise our clients never accept that plea without speaking to an attorney. If you want to go ahead and accept that after the consultation with your attorney and investigation to the case, then that can be decided at that time. An initial offer from a state attorney, we would highly recommend and advise against accepting that offer. If you have any other questions about plea bargains or offers made by the state attorney, please contact our office.
