Client was arrested and charged with felony Obtaining Public Assistance By Fraud. The alleged restitution amount was over $41k and client could not afford to pay all of that in the 5 years of probation that was the max for this case. Jail started looking like a real possibility. However, we worked out an agreement with the State where she would pay a minimum $200 a month and once her probation expires whatever is remaining she could just pay off little by little through the Clerk as a civil lien. Client also received a withhold on the charge so she would not be a convicted felon.
