Re: forgery charges

It's done through her attorney, who will negotiate for her. That's what they get paid to do. Before offering ANY such deal, she needs to consult with counsel to make sure she is doing the right thing. If she qualifies for the Public Defender, request appointment. If she doesn't, she'll need to hire private counsel. Otherwise, she'll just be at the 'mercy' of the DA. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting private counsel.
