If you plead nolo contendere this neither admits or denies the charges and you would have no intent on defending yourself. Nolo contendere is treated as a plea of guilty. In the courts of the U.S. you may only plead this with the okay of the court. Advantage... this plea can not be used in a later proceeding against you. A guilty plea may be used. Disadvantage... If the case is not settled by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, you will start to prepare for a trial.
If you take a plea bargain in court can you return to court to try an get it changed?
Probably not. If you entered into a plea bargain, you probably plead guilty to some offense. Once you plead guilty, it is unlikely that you would be able to withdraw that guilty plea, absent some glaring problem. You should speak with an attorney as soon as possible to find out if there is such a defect in your plea. Typically, a motion to withdraw the plea must be entered within a short period of time, such as 30 days.
