Rather than go to trial on what you were originally charged with, have your attorney approach the prosecutor and offer to plead guilty to a lesser offense, or offer to give up some information that you know law enforcement or the prosecutor would like to have. This is known as a plea bargain. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

It depends on if you were charged at the misdemeanor or felony level. If it was the former, then you can apply for a waiver.
