Withdrawal of Plea
If you have plead guilty to a crime in Orange County,
and you have questions about it, or something isn’t sitting
right with you and you feel you got a raw deal, call Mr. Grupenhagen. Lucky
for you, when it’s over, it’s not really over.
What does that mean? Once a defendant in a criminal case
decides to plead guilty to an offense, if there was some mistake
by the court, or some other error, the law allows, under limited
circumstances, for that person to request to withdraw the plea
of guilty and to allow for the problem to be cured. The
judge will not automatically allow a defendant to withdraw that
plea of guilty. There must be legal grounds to do so. Mr.
Grupenhagen is experienced in evaluating the “plea of guilty” and
making a determination of 1) if the plea can be withdrawn we.e.,
there are legal grounds, and 2) would it help to withdraw the
plea.
Some things that give rise to grounds for withdrawing a plea
include miscommunication to the Defendant about the consequences,
or a misunderstanding as to collateral consequences of the plea,
say for licensing, or employment, or immigration. Perhaps
there was some other problem involving your prior attorney, and
should be discussed with our office to help you decide what to
do.
It doesn’t hurt to call for second opinion. There
are steps that can be taken. We can’t help you if
you don’t let us. Call us for a free consultation
with Mr. Grupenhagen.
