If 'you' (i.e.: referring collectively to both you and your attorney) received the offer of a plea bargain from the prosecutor, your attorney should discuss this offer with you before taking any action on his own. Unless you have given him complete authority to act on your behalf, prior to either accepting, rejecting, or attempting to amend it, he must consult with you, during which time he can offer his advice and 'counsel' on whether to accept or reject the offer.
What else can I help you with?
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!

How can you get your sentence lowered to a misdemeanor?
You (or your attorney-which I would highly recommend) offer to enter into a plea bargain with the prosecutor. It usually works that if you offer the prosecutor a guilty plea to a lesser offense, and without going to trial, -or- offer the prosecutor and law enforcemnent information that they may be interested in knowing - you MAY get the offer of a plea to a lesser offense. WARNING: Plea Bargains are not set in stone, it is a deal between only you and the prosecutor. I have seen plea bargains fall apart when the judge, seeing the seriousness of your originally charged offense, sees the lesser plea, and refuses to honor it.
