I am getting charged with a felony, due to the amount taken from an employer. Even though I paid it back. Can this be a misdemeanor instead of a felony? It was just over 10k? I'm getting a lawyer but need peace if mind!

Hello M:

Your lawyer can negotiate ANYTHING.. That doesn't mean he'll be successful. In fact, having stolen that much from your employer, even though you paid it back, I DOUBT they'll
Reduce it.
