The lawyer's job is to give you legal advice, and tell you what the situation is and what the odds are.
If the prosecution has a very strong case, you are often much better off working out a plea bargain than going to trial -- where the sentence will almost certainly be longer.
It's a tactical decision -- but it's your decision. The lawyer can only make suggestions. In the end, it's up to you.

If you are guilty in fact, and admit your guilt and show remorse for the crime, you are likely to receive a lighter sentence than if you plead innocent, and are subsequently proven to be guilty based on strong evidence presented by the prosecution. This is because the judge will assume that you are trying to "use" the legal system to get away with your crime, and will take longer to rehabilitate.
