Re: Getting Felony reduce to misdemeanor after probation

Your offense either is or is not reduceable to a misdemeanor as a matter of law. If it is, you are entitled to have it reduced whether or not it is part of your probation terms. Felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors are called "wobbler." Ask your lawyer whether your offense qualifies. If it does, you should be able to reduce at the end of your probation.
