This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.
Where the case sits and whose criminal code applies. Sentencing exposure and collateral consequences both turn on this.
Charged counts with code sections, the plea terms, and what the state agrees to dismiss.
Citizenship or status, job and any license, prior record, family, firearms, housing. This is what makes the consequences real.
What the state has, what you have, and any pending motion that could change the case.
The date and the event. Offers usually die at a hearing, not at midnight.
Watch for these throughout
Padilla v. Kentucky requires advice specific to this conviction. "May affect your immigration status" is the language that produces ineffective-assistance claims. Make the model name the ground or admit it cannot.
A domestic violence misdemeanor triggers the federal firearms bar under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9) no matter how the state classifies it. The model routinely misses federal consequences of state pleas.
Sentencing ranges, registration triggers, and probation conditions vary by state and often by county practice. Verify every number against the actual code and this judge's habits before sending.
Do not paste identifying client facts into a tool your firm has not cleared. This memo is privileged and the inputs are the whole file.
The client decides (Model Rule 1.2(a)). Deliver options, document the advice and the client's choice, and never let the memo read as your decision.
