Yes. An experienced criminal defense attorney can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges—sometimes to a misdemeanor or even a non-theft offense—or seek alternatives like diversion programs or restitution agreements. Defenses include lack of intent, claim of right to the property, or mistaken accounting. In some cases, if evidence is weak or obtained unlawfully, charges may be dismissed entirely.
