Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Is it possible to get charges/conviction reduced?

Thanks for your inquiry.

You may be able to have your charges reduced. If I am reading your question correctly, however, you've already had your case reduced by the judge from a felony to a misdemeanor?

Once a misdemeanor probation has ended, you are eligible to have your case expunged, or taken off your record, pursuant to Penal Code �1203.4.

I hope this helps, but if you have more questions or details for me, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I'm happy to help in any way that I can.

Re: Is it possible to get charges/conviction reduced?

Yes, by a motion to the court. Contact me if interested in doing so.

Re: Is it possible to get charges/conviction reduced?

YOU CAN DO AN EXPUNGMENT, HOWEVER IT WILL STILL EXIST FOR SOME PURPOSES. IF YOU WISH TO HAVE IT TOTALLY DISAPPEAR YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE YOUR PLEA WITHDRAWN (separate from a 1203.4 motion). Best of luck.

if you can email me the "statutory language of 148", i may be able to further assist you legally. also, please include the brief facts of your conduct that led to your charge, as well as why you feel "bad intent" was the missing element of the criminal offense.

Re: Is it possible to get charges/conviction reduced?

You should be able to get the conviction expunged if the following conditions apply:

Record Clearance

You have the right to "have your record cleared" which means that under the following conditions you have the right to withdraw your plea of guilty or nolo contendere or have a verdict or finding of guilt set aside and to then enter a plea of not guilty and have the Court dismiss the charge(s) against you and release you from any further penalties and disabilities resulting from the original charge(s). You may request record clearance:

(1) At the conclusion of your probationary period (formal or court probation) if you have otherwise complied with all orders of court and if there are not charges pending against you (PC 1203.4).

(2) After one year has elapsed following the pronouncement of judgment if you have not been placed on probation and if you have otherwise led a good and lawful life and there are not charges pending against you (Penal Code ("PC") 1203.4(a)).
