You and your client have decided to move forward with the case, but now you have to assess a variety of things, including the likely outcome at trial; the offer presented by the prosecutor; and a defendant's possible willingness to accept a plea deal. You believe that it is in your client's best interest, after going over new evidence presented, to take the plea deal that he is offered. However, your client does not want to accept the plea deal.
