This means that an offer to dispose of your case has been presented by the AG to you and your attorney. You most likely have been given some time to consider it and weigh your options with your lawyer. A 5 year suspended sentence means that you will be sentenced to jail, but you will not need to report to the ACI. It also means that you will be convicted of the crimes that have been included in the disposition offer and that if you fail to keep the peace and be of good behavior, the court could find you to be a violator of that suspended sentence and order you to serve a portion of that 5 years, all of that 5 years, or none of that 5 years in prison. Please consult with your attorney on these matters. I hope it works out of you.
