It is not that expensive. You need to pay for fingerprinting. Talk to the DA and get their expungement kit.

I know of no program that will assist you with this. I do not know if it even possible to remove a felony. If it can be done, you will need an attorney to accomplish this.

California law does not provide for true expungement in the sense of deletion or erasure. You may qualify to have your felony reduced to a misdemeanor, or even dismissed by post-conviction motion under Penal Code section 1203.4. But the fact of the conviction will still be discoverable in many circumstances. You may want to inquire as to whether the office of the public defender can assist you in post-conviction relief.

You may be able to get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor.
