At arraignment will a deal be offered or acceptable to do?

It depends on the prosecutor assigned to the case whether they have reviewed the facts, police report, prior history etc. If they have, they could make a plea offer. It is common for an offer to be made at arraignment although it should be noted that the prosecutor is under no obligation to make one.

The prosecutor may offer you a deal. You should be aware that the prosecutor is under no obligation to let you know if there may be a problem with his case, such as an illegal arrest and/or search. You should consult with an attorney before accepting any plea deal to ensure that your rights are not violated.

There are many factors that will effect whether a plea offer will be made so early on in the case. Has an Information already been filed? You should never accept a plea deal this early on without consulting an attorney. Everything at arraignment is recorded and any statements you make can later be used by the State against you. www.colleenglenn.com

Usually not. I think it is best for you to hire your own attorney. There are a lot of possible outcomes to your situation. Your whole life could be affected.

I would advise you to be more concerned about speaking to a lawyer as to the merrits of your case rather than accepting a quick plea offer. A conviction on a felony has both serious short term and life long implications. If you do not have a lawyer at the arraignment, ask for the public defender and review discovery with them, then decide how you wish to resolve the case.
