Plea Bargaining

Sometimes a criminal defendant and the prosecution can negotiate an agreement that resolves the criminal matter. Usually, the prosecutor agrees to reduce a charge, drop some of multiple charges or recommend a more lenient sentence in exchange for the defendant’s guilty plea; often to a lesser offense or to fewer than all offenses charged. But negotiation is not a haphazard process; a seasoned criminal defense lawyer is a real advantage to a criminal defendant throughout the plea-bargaining process. Contact Darrell Smith at (913) 397-6333 if you have questions regarding criminal defense in Jackson and Johnson County.

Sentencing

Many negative consequences can result from a criminal conviction. One of the most obvious is the sentence the court will impose. A sentence can include incarceration, fines, court costs, restitution, probation or, in some jurisdictions, death. The less obvious consequences involve social stigma or estrangement from family, friends or professional colleagues. A person with a criminal record may also have trouble with employment, insurance, credit or housing. If not a U.S. citizen, he or she may become ineligible for citizenship. He or she may lose or become ineligible for professional licenses, welfare benefits, or firearms. Because of the potentially devastating consequences of a conviction, it is in the best interests of a defendant to have a strong, experienced attorney at his or her side to fight to preserve legal and constitutional rights every step of the way.
