Q: We were told by this shady attorney that he would meet with the DA and probation guy and try and work out a 2nd chance before the court date. Is it in her best interest to do this. To try and meet with the DA or probation people before the next court date?

A: I have no idea whether it is in her best interests or not; I don't know her.


Q: Is it possible to arrange this meeting and reach an agreement before the court date?

A: This is normal; it's done thousands of times a day in this country.


Q: Is the DA the guy who could do that?

A: Yes.


Q: And would the judge agree to it?

A: I have no way of knowing that; it depends on the agreement and it depends on the judge.


As I said, it is unlikely that second chances in the circumstances you describe are about to happen.
