QUESTION
Can I get a felony downgraded to a misdemeanor for meth sales?
Asked on Aug 19th, 2012 on Expungements - California
More details to this question:
I was convicted over 22 years ago for meth sales. I don't remember exactly what they found. It was such a long time ago but, I did have a public defender and he said take the deal which was8 months in county. I programmed out after 3 months and when through classes and probation and never looked back. As soon as I could I filed for a record clearance. They did not downgrade but still approved the clearance. Again, details are fuzzy. How would I go about getting the felony dropped? It has been over 22 years and it really has been the only dumb (very dumb) thing I have done. Is it possible?Thanks,

It is not technically possible, the DA's office would have to agree. File a request to reduce to a possession of meth 11377 H&S and see what happens. This is no t a wobbler which reduces they would have to agree to change the conviction, which is unusual. You need a lawyer.
