Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Re: Theft in third degree

It is called a compromise of misdemeanor. You do not need officially need an attorney but it is unlikely that the business will assist and if you do not know what to present to them you may end up needing an attorney just to proceed. If you can't find one elsewhere, I could draft the compromise of misdemeanor agreement for you for a fee. The thing to remember is that it is still discretionary on the part of the judge so it isn't a guaranteed way to take care of the case. That said, I don't think I've ever had one denied and your case should be easy because even the prosecutor is recommending it.

Mr. White is correct. The compromise of misdemeanor is the way to go. You do need to get certain documentation from the store as well as having the court documents drafted. This can all be done by me also if you so desire. You may contact me to discuss the particular requirements for this process. Good Luck!
