Pleading Guilty to the Charge Is Not Your Best Option!!So clearly, the far better option is to seek the legal counsel of an experienced attorney. At The Bankruptcy Company, we want to do one of two things: 1) get the charges dropped (usually because the officer performed an illegal search to find the drugs); or 2) get the charges reduced to a lesser infraction (to something like “littering”). In either scenario, it is far better than simply pleading guilty.
