The statute of limitations is a law which sets forth the time period in which a lawsuit must be commenced. The limitations period begins to run when a cause of action is said to accrue. Meaning that the aggrieved party becomes aware of the facts that have given rise to that cause of action.
Mark Palumbo explains that criminal cases often end with a plea bargain. A plea bargain is a negotiation with your attorney and the State’s Attorneys Office to determine what is an appropriate charge that the defendant will plead guilty to.
