You are going to have to give us more information:

Where (state or country) are you?
What are you charged with?
Did the prosecutor make you an offer which your lawyer rejected?
If so, what explantion did your lawyer give you?


I do not believe your attorney can refuse a deal which you want to make. Maybe there is something about it she won't approve, but if you and she cannot agree on this, you need a different attorney.

An attorney is required to present any deal to their client. What makes you think your attorney rejected a deal? As AK said we need more details.

I'm from Texas first time shoplifting misdeamenor class b. had arrainment and now the we have a court date for trial. Nothing much happened at arraingment I was there but didn't even had to go in front of the judge we got a date for trial. And the paperwork says we declined the plea bargain?? my lawyer feels it good if we can take it to trial. So what's the next steps that I should expect?whay did she do this?

I don't know, why not ask her? Maybe she feels there is not enough evidence to convict you in a trial. We don't know what evidence there is.
