Re: Felony reduction
It MAY be possible to expunge the conviction and have it shown as 'charges dismissed'. However, the original conviction and expungement must be disclosed on any government employment applications, professional licensing, bonding, security clearance, law enforcement, etc. The agency would then determine whether it disqualifies you from employment.
Getting it expunged is still to your benefit, since you would be able to say 'no' to conviction on private employment applications. If serious about getting that done, feel free to contact me.
