Your felony defense attorney will look at the evidence presented and possible defenses available through things like interviews. Your lawyer will also attempt to get the prosecutor to listen to your side of the story. You may also be asked to do something such as taking a class to have something to show the prosecutor. This combined with your lawyer using weaknesses in the evidence can result in your case being dismissed. Other ways to have a case dismissed include filing motions, negotiating for different resolutions, and during a trial.
