Hello Joyce, nice to meet you. How may I assist you with your legal issue today?
My son’s lawyer gave him a wrong advice that the prosecution will not be able to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt because their witnesses were not credible. Based on that advice he rejected a favourable plea offer and went to trial and was convicted and he had a longer and harsher sentence.
Hello Joyce, I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation. To give more accurate advice, could you please tell me which country/state this case was held in?

I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation, Joyce. May I confirm if this happened in the United States? The specific state would also be helpful to provide accurate information.
