Unfair Plea Agreement Concerns

Summary

Accepting a plea agreement under distress, especially when intoxicated or on new medication, can be problematic. If your son was convinced to accept a plea deal while severely depressed, anxious, and intoxicated, he may have grounds to appeal the conviction. Consulting with a criminal defense attorney in Florida can provide guidance on the next steps and potential appeal options.

My name is Janelle
My son's PD would never return my calls nor speak me while at couple proceedings. The day my son accepted the deal he was severely depressed extremely anxious and intoxicated. I even told his PD he had started a new medication that's not agreeing with him. The PD still went forward with conveniencing my son to sign the agreement. I'm still shocked and dismayed.
