QUESTION
How can I reduce a felony to a misdemeanor?
Asked on Jul 10th, 2014 on Expungements - California
More details to this question:
I need this to happen. It has kept me from getting a career. It has been almost 25 years and most states have a medical program for cultivation of marijuana. Can anyone help? I am tired of having this over my shoulder. After all, I did my time and probation and I am still being hassled for this.

California has a law which allows reduction if the case was what is called a wobbler, can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor, and you did not go to prison. There are other crimes which never reduce to a misdemeanor. There is also the clean slate program in CA. Check that out on the internet.

You can definitely have the felony reduced. You can probably get the case expunged. No big hassle here.
