The purpose of a charging document is to give you notice about what you must defend. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.

Usually, but there may be many other issues that could make it invalid.
