Re: need help fast please
The notarized "agreement" affects only a civil claim that he may have against you.
It may have some bearing in a criminal trial. Whether you will be charged for a crime is up to the
State's Attorney. He can swear out a statement for charges but this does not guarantee that charges will in fact be pursued for conviction.
If you are contemplating signing a document or making payment in exchange for a document that only the alleged injured party signs then you should consider
obtaining the service of an attorney. It is important that the document contain the proper language.
