How influencal is your lawyer suppost to be in negotiating with the Procesutor.

Any lawyer, PD, or court appointed attorney, has equal standing in court. Each has the role of being able to negotiate freely with the DA for plea agreements. You need to talk to the lawyer. Open communication has to occur. I can't advise you because I don't know all the facts. Maybe the attorney is telling you that the deal he is getting is the best he can do. If you are not content with the deal he has struck with the DA, you have options limited options, one of which is to fire him and hire a private counsel. You can also have a consultation with another lawyer of your choice to get another opinion. This is going around the back of the court appointed attorney, but you can do it.
