In many criminal cases, prosecuting attorneys will offer a reduced charge or sentence in exchange for entering a guilty plea. In some cases, a plea bargain can help you avoid the maximum sentence for a charge, but often plea deals are pushed through by aggressive prosecutors looking to penalize a defendant as quickly and easily as possible. In any criminal case, it is crucial that you never take a plea bargain before consulting with a top Michigan criminal defense attorney. Although a plea bargain could be beneficial in your case, only a lawyer who knows your case and has your best interests in mind can properly protect you from unnecessary penalties.

No matter what the details of your case, you need to contact an attorney right away when accused of a crime or charged with a criminal offense.

Private defense attorneys will be able to provide you with comprehensive legal guidance throughout every stage of your case, and ensure your individual rights are protected, utilizing an individualized defense strategy.
Plea agreements are offered by prosecutors, and therefore always offer some value to the prosecution, meaning that the state’s interests are often reflected in a plea offer rather than the interests of the defendant. Anyone facing criminal charges has to be extremely careful when considering a plea agreement, as with an experienced private defense lawyer, a better result is frequently possible. Prosecuting attorneys may claim the plea deal is the best possible result you will achieve, or that a court case opens you up to the risk of tougher sentences, however oftentimes plea deals are offered when the prosecution believes you have a legitimate shot at winning your case, or at least achieving a better result after going through the criminal justice process.
If you accept a plea bargain in your Michigan criminal case, you will forfeit your right to appeal the sentence a judge ultimately decides on. Although a plea deal could initially appear to offer a lighter sentence, prosecuting attorneys can’t guarantee the punishment you will actually receive at sentencing. Working with a private attorney will allow you to negotiate the best possible plea deal, or obtain a case victory in court, weighing the potential effects that a judge’s discretion could have in your case.
Plea bargaining is a complex process that takes extensive investigation and negotiating in order to ensure the defendant is properly protected. Before forfeiting your right to a jury trial and your right to appeal your sentence, contact a private lawyer who can help you determine the best steps to take throughout the bargaining process. Our experienced attorneys will get you the best result in your case, whether it is available before trial or after a court decision.
