You don't 'lower' a conviction; you might appeal if there is still time and you can afford it.

It is possible to have such records sometimes removed. It is a difficult process and you would need to pay attorney fees which may be high due to the protracted process. Contact me directly.

First of all, you need to look up the case at the courthouse and find out what he was really convicted of (pay a private investigator if you have to).
Then, talk to a lawyer and find out if it is possible to get the registration requirement lifted and what it would cost to try.
