As a criminal defense attorney, the most interesting type of case is….? As an attorney, talking with a new client in-custody is different than out-of-custody.  Why? Can I get a great deal from plea bargaining, or just a little better than a trial verdict? Can plea bargaining occur right at the beginning of the criminal case? Can someone who was arrested sit on a jury?  How about convicted? Does a firearm enhancement change how an attorney approaches a plea bargain? Does a jury want to hear the defendant testify?   Should he testify? Does plea bargaining occur in every criminal case? Does plea bargaining vary between state court and federal court? Does plea bargaining vary county by county? Does the type of crime affect plea bargaining in a criminal case? Has firearm enhancements always been used or just recently? How Washington State prosecutors get TWO gun convictions from the same crime? If my attorney is known for going to trial, can I get a better deal when plea bargaining? In a criminal case, when should plea bargaining negotiations start? Is a firearm enhancement charge ALWAYS added to the criminal charges if a weapon is used? Is it better to be out-of-custody when fighting my criminal case? Officer, those drugs are for my personal use.  Really! Successful plea bargaining could depend on the type of case and the charges. The prosecutor will offer a deal at the beginning of your criminal case.  Should you take it? Very few arrests go all the way to trial.  Why not? What happens if the prosecutor and your attorney have a bad relationship? What is a firearm enhancement, and how will it affect my criminal case? What is best type of criminal case to plea bargain? What is plea bargaining in a criminal case? What type of crime has firearm enhancement charges added more often? What type of questions should my attorney ask when picking a jury in my criminal case? When hiring a criminal defense attorney, what should you look for? When picking a jury, how can my attorney dismiss people we don’t want? When picking a jury, what is most important to my attorney?
