While there is a critical skill set that every good criminal defense attorney must possess when trying a case before a jury, there is another skill set that can be equally important. This involves negotiating a plea. Essentially, it is about how you discuss a settlement on a charge.

There are many things to consider when settling a case. Obviously, the most important is getting you client’s permission. Beyond that, there are a lot of considerations. There are the charges themselves. Some come with many unforeseen ramifications and you must be prepared for that. Other concerns involve time. Even that isn’t as simple as it seems. Some result in prison, some local jail, some electronic home monitoring, etc. Fines and restitution may also be out there. The list goes on and on and on.
