What does it mean when the DA and judge want to have an informal meeting with your lawyer? -

We are set to go to trial in less than 2 weeks on a felony (not guilty) this has been drug out over a year. Today on his way to meet with me the lawyer stopped by the DA office to see if there was anything else we needed to talk about for our case they told him that the DA and judge wanted to have an informal meeting with him today, what could this possibly mean? Is it probably good news?

If it was just the DA, it could have been for a plea deal offer. However, judges do not typically sit on such meetings. The judges presence makes me wonder if it was about someting else trial related.

Most likely, it s good news. It s probably to discus settling out of court. It s quicker this way and saves the state money. Don t get your hopes up too high though.

Yea it most liekly is good news. They probably want to meet to drop some charges or give you some alternative..lesser charge. They do this sometimes becasue if it can be settled without going in front of a judge it usually will be more in your favor. Good luck

They are trying to cut a deal....watch out what your lawyer advises you to do...........Don t plead guilty to anything, even for a lesser sentence...
