Hi Enrique 👋 your Pretrial Hearing just got scheduled...

You have legal questions CourtChat has answers.

If my lawyer wants to do a plea deal do I have to say yes to all the charges?
Good question!


No, accepting a plea deal often doesn’t mean you plea guilty to all charges.


🧑💼 Your lawyer is working to get you the best possible case outcome.


❗ It is important to talk with your lawyer about which charges you might plea guilty to and the potential consequences you might face.

What's a motion?
📝 A motion is a special request made by a lawyer before the trial starts. They ask the judge to make a decision on something important, like what evidence can be used or if certain charges should be dropped. It helps the lawyers prepare for the trial and can affect how the case will be handled.
‍
📆 All motions must be filed within 35 days of arraignment and at least 7 days before trial.
What happens during pretrial?
Here's what you can expect to happen:

🗣️ The Prosecutor (the county's lawyer) and Defense Attorney (your lawyer) have a discussion with the Judge.
They'll decide if your case can be resolved through a plea agreement or if it will go to trial.

📝 Both lawyers will present and discuss motions (requests about your case).
What's a plea agreement?
🗣️ The prosecutor and your lawyer might talk and make a deal where you could admit to a less serious crime or get a less harsh punishment. You and your lawyer will decide if you want to accept this offer and plead guilty or no contest in front of the judge.

❗ It is important to talk with your lawyer about which charges you might plea guilty to and the potential consequences you might face.
