Yes, it is often possible to work on your behalf to seek a reduction of charges. This typically occurs by challenging the prosecution’s valuation of the property to show it falls below the $750 threshold. If the value is successfully disputed or if there are significant weaknesses in the state’s evidence regarding your "intent" to steal, the charges may be reduced to petit theft or dismissed entirely through a diversion program.
