There is no means for a "highly skilled" lawyer to address an issue in which you have actual legal counsel that represents you dealing with a criminal prosecution in an internet blurb nor is there an inherent means to dismiss or "throw out" criminal prosecution simply because you find it disagreeable, inconvenient or that you have somehow suffered financially as a result. The fact that you claim you did nothing wrong, whether that is true or not, is of little consequence if the State Attorney and the "victim" contend differently. I would urge you to have a serious discussion with your existing lawyer about the pros and cons of the settlement offer and the details of your case. If you cannot get on the same page, you may need to discuss the need to change counsel and hire a new lawyer that might have a different perspective on acheiving a favorable resolution. You also want to be wary of posting public comments on social media or internet Q&A forums as those comments might be found by investigators and potentially used against you. You should restrict your disclosures to communications in which you have attorney client privilege. Hope you get this worked out to a favorable result.
