Pleading Guilty

Answer:

When interviewing clients who have been arrested for any type of crime, yes, we advise that you should speak to an attorney. You should hire an attorney right away upon your arrest. It’s very critical to hire an attorney specifically when you are contemplating entering a plea. We would advise any client who’s been arrested for any kind of crime, consult with an attorney who’s experienced in representing individuals who’ve been arrested prior to entering any kind of plea. Sometimes a deal might seem too good to be true. You know what they say about that. Often it is.

Any time you are arrested for a crime and you’re charged with a crime, it is very important to speak to an attorney prior to entering any type of plea. The reason why this happens is throughout the state of Florida, prosecutors are trained to just get the plea done, get individuals who are arrested to enter a plea to a crime. The prosecutors are trained to do this by offering seemingly good pleas. They’ll offer you low ramifications or low sentences. A lot of times, people without attorneys will go ahead and take those, but down the road, those could affect you in several ways. Maybe you enter a plea and you were judicated guilty for a crime which could affect you in many different ways. For example, that could prevent you from getting your case sealed or expunged later on in the future.

There are many specific details that could affect you for any particular crime in the state of Florida. We would highly recommend that you speak to an attorney and hire an attorney prior to entering any type of plea.
