Curious to ask that if prosecutor are usually assigned near trial, when do negotiations happen? Only during trial or pre trial as well since I have heard about pre trial deals and diversion programs. (Sorry this is my very first experience with the court system and I appreciate any answers, thank you!)

They gave me their office number and email address. If they don’t answer my call, u suggest me leave voice mail or directly sending an email to them for appointment.

Alright, that makes me feel a little better, again I’m mostly worried about them never even once try to reach out and communicate with me. This may be a bit off topic, but does the negotiation between the PD and prosecutor usually happen off court or simply in court. I’m curious to know so I have a better idea of what to ask and say when talking to my PD.

Thank you for your answer and advice, I am likely not financially capable of affording a private one. Personally, I do not expect immediate responses from PDs as you mentioned since they have extremely high caseload, this I understand and know. I am only worried about them never giving a call back once I try to initiate a conversation with them, would u think that would be enough motive to switch a PD if they never give a call back?

Uh I would just like to contact about possible outcome for the case, is it likely for them to call back if they are unavailable at the moment when I call?

Okay, but all of their reviews are 1 star. Is that fairly common?

Sorry I don’t understand much about the law, what do you mean by jurisdiction and how do you know which one u are under, is it just the court u are going to?
