    Should he accept the plea without knowing how much time is offered
    Today is the day my son is suppose to go to court and accept three felonies. My gut is telling me this is a bad idea for the mere fact that the lawyer has not and will not mention how much time can be involved in this. I am from New York and know that when a plea is entered the sentencing time is also discussed. This crime happened in New York and even though I am paying for the advice of this attorney I don't trust him. What should I tell my son to do

    Hello mom:

    I've NEVER heard of a one way deal like that. Your son pleads guilty but get's NOTHING in return... THAT isn't a deal I'D accept.

    FIRE that lawyer.
