Plea Mistake

If I plead guilty to a felony charge, but didn't understand that it wasn't a wobbler. Is there any way to have that plea trown out and ask to plea to a similar chargeor go to trail?

Re: Plea Mistake

Yes, because it appears your plea was not knowing, intelligent or voluntary. Also, your chances are greatly enhanced if you entered the plea less than 180 days ago and you were granted probation.

Feel free to contact my office to explore your options in more detail.
