Compromise Of Misdemeanor - A Clean Ending To A Bad Decision
Washington State Law allows people charged with certain Misdemeanors to get their case dismissed by “compromising” with the victim of the crime. If you can comply with the conditions, a Compromise of Misdemeanor can give you a way of keeping your criminal record clean.
Requirements
The first requirement is that the crime charged is a Misdemeanor. Washington State recognizes two types of non-felony crimes: Misdemeanors and Gross Misdemeanors. A Misdemeanor is one where the maximum sentence is 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine. A Gross Misdemeanor is a crime where the maximum penalty is a year in jail and a $5000 fine.
