Product Description
Product Description
As defense attorneys, our trial preparation begins the minute we are hired or appointed to represent someone who has been accused of a crime. Despite our consummate preparation, most of our cases are resolved short of trial. For a myriad of reasons, a significant percentage of criminal cases end in a plea. With that in mind, it is time to brush up on your negotiation skills.
There are many factors to consider during the plea negotiation process. In this webinar we provide you with practical strategies to help you in your negotiation process. Those strategies include keeping your client’s objectives top of mind during negotiations, understanding your goal, timing of negotiations, and more. Strategizing plea negotiations is a critical tool that we all need to sharpen. Join us as we help you to fine tune your skills.
