Check Penal Code Section 1203.4 for felonies, and 1203.4a for misdemeanors. The criminal clerk should have some forms that you can fill out at the appropriate time.

Re: Reducing a felony Conviction

Thanks for your posting. With all respect to my co-counsel, it does depend on what stage your case is, but the appropriate penal code section is 17(b) -- that code section allows a judge to consider the facts of the case as charged, the elements as proven, and reduce the case to a misdemeanor in the interests of justice.

If you would like for my firm to answer questions, prepare the motion for you, or file it and argue for you, I would be happy to. Just email me or call me at 1-877-568-2977.
