How do I get a felony expunged?

Long story short: A relative of mine started working at new job, an employee she was working with asked for a ride home. On the way home, employee asked my relative to stop by a bar on the way home because she had to drop something off to her boyfriend. Employee went into bar, came back and hopped into relative�s truck. As they left the bar, Trooper stopped them. Trooper searched relative�s truck, found cocaine on the passenger side. Relative denied owning cocaine & employee also denied it. Relative got busted for it because relative owned the truck. Drug paraphernalia was found on employee, which was added to relative�s charges. Misdemeanor & Felony. Relative hires lawyer, lawyer wants $5000 to remove charges. Relative barrows from another relative and when court date comes, trooper doesn�t show up and trooper searched truck illegally. Misdemeanor is out however the felony remains. In the process, relative loses job and can�t get another job because of the felony. Relative contacts lawyer to find out why felony not expunged when misdemeanor was, lawyer tells relative, �that will be another $2000.00 for that.� I think relative is getting ripped, at wits end & need help. What can relative or I do to resolve? Please help.
