Is that true? Isn't the provision of an attorney to provide the best representation of a client? Does a defendant get to have his attorney fees, if he paying them himself, reimbursed by the government if he is not convicted? How about if he is convicted of a lesser charge or the attorney negotiates a plea bargain. You were facing manslaughter and instead plead guilty to DWI. Sounds like your attorney maybe helped you be not guilty of a more serious crime. So do you pay the government because you were guilty of DWI or not pay because you were not found guilty of manslaughter?
