Pittsburgh Criminal Plea Agreements

In Pennsylvania, more than 90 percent of criminal cases are resolved by plea agreements.

If you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime, it is likely that at some point during your criminal case the district attorney will offer a plea agreement to resolve the case without need for a trial.

Typical plea agreements involve the prosecutor withdrawing a charge if you voluntarily plead guilty to a lesser offense.

Such agreements may also include sentencing recommendations to the judge for probation only.

It should be noted that the judge makes the final decision about whether to accept a plea agreement.

At Spivak Law Firm, we are tough negotiators and experienced trial lawyers in all criminal matters. To schedule a free consultation, call us today at (412) 344-4900 or toll free at (800) 545-9390.

Domestic Violence Plea Agreements

At Spivak Law Firm, we handle all family law and criminal defense cases with a special focus on child custody and domestic violence. Typical domestic violence offenses include: assault, harassment, stalking, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, and endangering the welfare of children (EWOC).

Many domestic violence cases are resolved before a magistrate without need to proceed to the Court of Common Pleas. Typical plea agreements for defendants charged with simple assault and terroristic threats include: reducing the misdemeanor charges to a low-level summary offense if the defendant completes an anger-management or batterers-intervention course.
