FAQ

A conditional plea is a type of guilty plea or no contest plea. It allows the defendant to appeal a certain issue in the case to a higher court, which will determine whether the lower court made a mistake.

Again since accepting a plea bargain means pleading guilty, the defendant may still encounter some drawbacks of a criminal conviction. The offenses admitted via a guilty plea could appear on the defendant's criminal records and background checks.

contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).

A no contest plea means just what it says: The defendant has decided not to contest the state's charges against them. While this is not the same as pleading “guilty,” it essentially has the same effect. The trial court will enter a judgment against the defendant and impose a sentence.

Not guilty refers to either a type of plea or verdict in a criminal case. A defendant can make a not guilty plea which means the defendant denies committing the accused crime or one of the facets of the crime.

contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).

Note that you do not always have the option of pleading no contest instead of pleading guilty. Sometimes prosecutors insist that you plead guilty as part of a plea bargain. And judges do not always have to accept no contest pleas. No contest pleas still result in a conviction.

contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).

Both misdemeanor and felony convictions remain on your record indefinitely. A no-contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).

Pleading no contest is the same as pleading guilty. Its beneficial to plead no contest when there is a potential civil claim against you also so it can't be held against you. Since this is just a simple speeding ticket with no accident, it will be the same outcome.
