Another attorney that was on my case filed a motion and did not have me sign and bring it to court. Don't they have people that notarize etc at court?
I'm finding out that additional conditions will be added after I accepted a plea. Is this normal?

NO!
All elements of a crime must be proven to find you guilty of a crime.
Good Luck!
My attorney said that it is but I don't trust him

A PSI is usually used in a case where the DA and the defendant can not reach a solid plea deal. The PSI is prepared by the probation dept and is slanted towards the State. Any good defense lawyer will prepare a counter-report for the defendant. This is the last chance for the defendant to show the... Read more »

The answer to your question is yes.
If you dumped one bag of garbage - no.

If not, what should I do? I have a lot of questions and no one to ask.

No. Unless your sentence has already been agreed upon.

Make a complaint. He or she is required to meet with you to discuss and prepare for sentencing, if it has not been agreed to by your lawyer and the DA.
I signed a plea with very limited conditions but it states that additional conditions can be added if the PSI states it should. My attorney say conditions can be negotiated, is this true? If so , why the PSI or the conditions not entered prior to plea. I previously turned down a plea because of the... Read more »

My attorney says that is standard but I don't know. He... Read more »
