What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
Faced with 5 charges, I plead guilty to two offenses--first time DWI and felony drug possession (adderall). I did so based on advice from my lawyer that I couldn't get a better deal AND I wouldn't have to come back. Well, the judge ordered me back in two months for formal sentencing while my criminal record (none) is confirmed.
I feel like I made a poor decision as I (my attorney) could have used this time to bargain more.
My question is this...is there NO possible way to revoke this decision? What if I knew a powerful politician that could help sway the DA's position toward helping me out?
I'm asking because I've posed this hypothetical question to two veteran attorneys...and received opposing replies.
