You shouldn't take a language depending on what you want to be when you grow up. You should take the language that you are most interested in. If you take Latin just because you want to be a lawyer and not because you actually love it, you will quit it in a range from a the first week to the first year. Latin will help you with English, logic of language, and Germanic and especially romance languages. It will help you with your knowledge of the western world. So only take it if you love. I do.

Latin is useful for an attorney, but not a requirement. You can always refer to the legal dictionary for the appropriate phrases.

My lawyer want me to take a plea bargain but Idon't want to take a plea bargain tell what to?

If you did not do it, don't plea to it. Do you have a good lawyer? If you have a public defender, you will be told to plea. My advice is to spend thousands for a good defense lawyer that specializes in cases like yours. If you get a run of the mill lawyer, you'll get a run of the mill defense. DA's are relentless and will not give up, so neither should you. A DA's worst fear is a jury!
