I doubt that your lawyer will put it in such crass terms, "We gave her $1,000 so, Your Honor, you have to give my client a 'satisfactory compliance'." I doubt he would frame it in the sense you suggest - that you're paying her off to get a better plea bargain.

But if this is a first offense and the victim doesn't object to (or asks for) that type of sentencing, absent unusual circumstances (e.g., a significant degree of injury to the victim) the court will probably go along.
