Please understand that although these are samples of results, every case has its own facts, evidence, and risk factors. A "win" to each client means a different outcome. Also every case has its own defenses and risks that the client may or may not want to take.
In a time where 95% of criminal cases are resolved based on negotiations, being able to negotiate effectively is one of the most important skills that a criminal defense attorney should posess. "Plea bargaining is not some adjunct to the criminal justice system; it is the criminal justice system" Justice Kennedy United Stated Supreme Court
