One of the most difficult decisions for any accused person to make is whether they should enter a plea of guilt on a reduction of charges. It is imperative for the lawyer to provide the accused with a good understanding of the underlying case and the evidence which will be presented in Court at trial and the benefit of entering an early plea of guilt to enable the accused to make this decision. This is many ways will ensure a good outcome through the guidance of legal counsel.
