What happens if I want to withdraw my plea after it’s been submitted?
It’s rare, but occasionally a client may want to withdraw their plea for various reasons.
Because withdrawing a plea is a complicated process, there needs to be a valid reason as to why the person wishes to do this. The presiding Judge must decide if it is in the best interest of justice to have the plea withdrawn. If the Judge decides it is in fact in the best interest of justice based on a factual basis, the Judge must then verify the prosecutor would be not substantially prejudiced by having the plea withdrawn.
Each case will have a different facto scenario that will help determine the validity or strength of your case to withdraw your plea.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or to set up a free consultation.
