In jurisdictions that allow criminal bargaining agreements, the defendant's counsel generally has the discretion to determine whether a bargaining agreement is available to the defendant.
In criminal plea bargaining, it's the prosecutor (government lawyer), not the defense lawyer, who decides whether to offer a deal.
The defense lawyer can’t choose if a deal is available — they can negotiate one, but only if the prosecutor allows it.
