Re: plea bargins

You would have to look closely at the terms of the plea bargain. Frequently, an element of a plea bargain in sexually related offenses is a classification as a sex offender.

You may always petition the court for a declassification or for relaxed probation standards.

If you would like to speak to an attorney in my office regarding helping you in this matter please contact us.
