Re: felony to misdameanor
I need additional information. Do you have an attorney currently representing you in the criminal case? If so, you should talk to that attorney about making a deal that would reduce the charge, etc. Also, talk to the recruiter about providing information about the potential harm of the charge not being changed/reduced etc. with your attorney so the attorney can argue and/or negotiate with the D.A. Worse case, your attorney can take it up with the judge even if there's a partial plea bargain. It depends on the branch and what your positions in the Military will be that the Military may waive certain limited felonies. I cannot tell you how to practice law without a license though. You either hire an attorney or you do it yourself, but doing it yourself, the court will assume that you know everything an attorney knows. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
