Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada

theft and burglary charge

If someone was arrested for the above because they had taken some gift cards from work and they want to make restitution why does the attorney need to wait to go to court. Can he not contact the DA or the company to let them know to speed up the process or drop the charges from at least a misdemeanor than a felony if restitution is made? Thank you
