It is always important to pull the clients prior plea forms to examine if the pleas were taken properly.  The client must have entered into the plea knowingly and intelligently.  The language of the forms should be closely examined for any defects.  Audio recordings and transcripts from the rendering court should be ordered and examined as well.

A clients prior may be stricken for all purposes if the challenge is successful.
