The Bible gives good advice which can save you from criminal charges in Jefferson County. Here is a perfect example of a Bible verse worth following: “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.” Matthew 5:25.

Adams County Restitution and Criminal Case Settlements Out of Court
Every criminal case where there is a conviction, requires Restitution by law. The definiton of Restitution includes, “making someone whole following a loss they have suffered.” In Adams County Court, or anywhere else, it makes sense to at least try an out of court settlement through your lawyer. If the idea fails and you are still prosecuted, you are not out anything. Following a conviction, you have to pay restitution anyway. Don’t try this yourself, because your offer could be used against you in a criminal case. What have you got to lose if you are guilty of taking or damaging something of another? You could actually make your “victim” happy, and they would not call police. Read why District Attorneys value Restitution highly.
