Restitution can be significant in a number of types of court cases.\u00a0In criminal cases, particularly charges involving an underlying crime of theft, restitution often plays an important role of in the successful settlement of your case (if the goal is not to take the case to trial). Restitution often involves the payment of a sum of money to the injured party, and\u00a0one of the penalties imposed in a criminal conviction may be requiring return of stolen goods to the victim, or payment to the victim for harm caused.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Though restitution\u00a0and fines are both financial costs that can be imposed on a criminal client as part of a sentencing, the two impositions are not one in the same. Fines are specific penalties that are paid to the court. The purpose of restitution, however, is to repay alleged \u201cvictims\u201d for their losses. In other words, restitution is meant to make the injured party whole again.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To be clear, more often than not, money can\u2019t simply solve your problems once you find yourself embroiled in a criminal case. However, if the underlying issue involves something taken from another, and no one was injured in the process, sometimes the court and\/or prosecutor will be satisfied if repayment is made to make the victim happy, or whole again. Just this week, criminal attorneys at the Law Offices of Joumana Kayrouz successfully settled a felony case to the client\u2019s satisfaction with a favorable plea offer once full and complete restitution was paid to the alleged victim.\u00a0<\/div>\n
