Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: reduced felony

Arson is not a wobbler and cannot be reduced to a misdemeanor. Only misdemeanors can be expunged. You would have to petition the governor for a certificate of rehabilitation. You would still be required to divulge the conviction, but could add that you have received a certificate of rehabilitation. To determine whether you can get the conviction expunged would require looking up the particular penal codes section you were convicted of violating.

Re: reduced felony

It will depend on if this is or was considered a wobbler. You might be able to do this quickly, and if you need help in San Diego, please call my office at your earliest convenience.

Re: reduced felony

You need to file a petition to reduce as well as a petition to vacate and dismiss the conviction. You also need to serve the prosecuting agency. Call me for a detailed explanation 818.590.8294. Arthur Khachatourians

Re: reduced felony

As long as you were not sentenced to prison time, then depending upon the offense charged and pled to, you may be able to petition the court to reduce it to a misdemeanor, and then petition to expunge the misdemeanor. If successful, you will get to say 'no' to convictions on most employment applications. If interested in doing this right, feel free to contact me to discuss the proceedures and costs of doing so.
