FAQs and Answers by a Criminal Defence Lawyer

Q: The prosecutor is offering me a deal to plead guilty – should I take it?

A: Don’t take anyone’s word for it that an offer is a good deal.  There could be problems with a prosecutor’s case you don’t know about.  Perhaps the evidence against was obtained illegally?  Or maybe, you have a better defence than you’re led to believe.  These are just two of many circumstances that can give you a good defence.  Before taking a deal, talk to a lawyer.  Your first visit to talk with a criminal lawyer at Dykstra & Company is free.  During this visit you can find out if you have a case.
