It really depends on the felony. For example, one client of mine was charged with a felony for an illegal Schedule I hallucinogen. It was her first violation but because of the amount, she was charged with a felony.
Representing her, the judge was willing to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor if she took certain drug abstinence classes, paid all fines, court expenses and committed no other violations with the law for two years.
After two years, the judge reduced a felony to a misdemeanor her.
I highly recommend to contact an attorney because anyone that can remove a felony from their record should really try.
