What does it mean?

Prior to pleading guilty, a judge must admonish you of the consequences of being found guilty. In other words, the judge must tell you the minimum and maximum sentences allowable under the law. Concurrent sentences are served at the same time. Consecutive sentences are served one after another. Consecutive sentencing can be triggered based on the nature of the charges or the timing of your arrest. If you are charged with more than one criminal offense, or in more than one case, it is imperative that you talk to an attorney about the potential sentences you will face.
