  • What is a plea negotiation?

    A plea negotiation is a legal process in which the defense and prosecutor attempt to come to an agreement on guilty or non-guilty pleas without going to trial. It involves the defendant pleading guilty to a lesser charge or having some charges dropped in exchange for the prosecution agreeing not to pursue additional charges or penalties. Plea negotiations can be beneficial for both sides as they can help reduce the time and cost of a long trial process. If successful, it can also provide greater certainty of a favourable outcome for both sides. In order to be successful in plea negotiations, it is important to have an experienced attorney who understands the legal system and can effectively represent your interests.
