If you are a victim, we will make every attempt to discuss a potential plea agreement with you before the plea is presented to the court.  Your opinions are very important to us, so it is important that you advise this office of any changes in your contact information.  Good communication is always helpful to the process and key to ensuring that we can speak for you in the criminal justice system.

Please be aware that there are times when we may proceed with a plea negotiation even if you do not agree.  You always have the right to address your concerns directly to the judge and the judge may decide not to accept the negotiated plea, asking both parties to continue negotiations or to proceed with trial.
