Also whether the lawyer stops representing you is up to themselves I thought that a lawyer who stopped representing their client mid-trial could face possible disbarment depending on the reason, no? If the client is behaving in ways against their legal counsel and they have no faith that their service is having a positive impact upon their client they generally at least avoid any penalty. Though, the judge also will usually not grant them permission to be relieved. As far as just the act of taking a plea bargain, the lawyer would always be required to state to the judge the terms of it and that they (strongly) advised their client to take it, and thus it helps relieve the negative impact upon their record should it go to trial. Well, depending on the severity of the crime that is. Basically, kinda? --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:885091260] in If your la...
