Process to reduce a charge that was granted by court

I appealed to the court to have a felony charge reduced. The judge granted the plea but to be only after 1 year on probation was complete. This period has ended. Does a form need to be filed at the court to have the actual charge / record updated? If so what is the process.

Re: Process to reduce a charge that was granted by court

It is a matter of puting the matter on calendar to have the case heard again. You should contact your previous attorney or you can contact us at 310/277-1707 so that we can handle it for you. I am surprised that your attorney didn't put the matter on calendar when you were last there so that you could go to court on that date.

Call your attorney

Call the attorney that represented you and ask that the matter be placed on calendar. I am surprised the matter was not set for sentencing one year from the plea to allow you to return and have the charge reduced. If you had no attorney, then call the clerk.
