Restitution is one comonent of this matter. The second and more important matter will be the criminal charges. That needs to be tried unless your lawyer or his court appointed lawyer can meet with prosecution and propose something before the judge. If this is first offense, it may be wise to try for delayed conviction if available that would enable him to have this expunged from his record after a certain period of time.
