QUESTION
Can I have my charge reduced from from felony to misdemeanor?
Asked on Sep 05th, 2013 on Expungements - Missouri
More details to this question:
In June 2011 I was convicted of felony charge of theft over $500. I have since completed all community service hours, paid all restitution and court costs, and completed 2 years of a 5 year probation period. I initially received one year suspension and 5 years probation. I am currently seeking employment and am having difficulty finding work because of this felony on my record. Can I get it reduced to a misdemeanor at this point or have it expunged?

If this is in Missouri, then no, you can't get your felony theft conviction expunged. No matter which state this occurred in, it's too late to try and get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor. The time for plea-bargaining with the prosecutor was back before you pleaded guilty to the felony theft charge.
