Civil Practice Attorney serving Houston, TX
Absolutely not, any sort of negotiation or offer should always be communicated to the client. Additionally, a plea is invalid if the client does not accept it. Now, dont confuse having a "plea deal" with simple negotiation. The prosecutor will almost always try to negotiate to try to expedite cases. Attorneys discussing a plea agreement does not mean having one until the client approves it. Good luck.
