So how does a person ask a tough Judge for a second chance instead of prison punishment? Do they deserve a second chance? Has their criminal record reached the "three strikes and you're out" point? Second chances in Criminal Court are an act of mercy gifted to those who earn it. When considering that we are all a work in progress, some people fall behind in that work and need help to get it right. When a Judge sees that a defendant is willing to work and commit to rehabilitation planning and progress, this observation becomes a deciding factor in favor of a second chance. This is why we help our Unique Clients prepare a 2nd Chance Plan to submit to the Court.
