Criminal lawyers are responsible for representing their clients with diligence, zeal, and persistence. This duty of attorneys exists regardless of whether the attorney believes that his or her client is guilty or innocent. If the criminal attorney believes that his or her client has an excessive sentence, he may petition the criminal court for a sentence modification. Negotiations with the state attorney help to facilitate this process. When the attorney moves the criminal court for a sentence modification, the court can issue an order modifying the sentence on its own discretion, so long as the sentence modification does not reduce the sentence below a statutory minimum.
