CA Penal Code section 17 (b) allows a motion to be filed to reduce felony convictions to misdemeanor convictions for purposes of the record.
If your conviction was based on a “wobbler” charge (wobblers are crimes that can be treated as misdemeanors or felonies), the Law Offices of Douglas Slain can help you.
Your conviction will become a misdemeanor “for all purposes”–meaning you no longer have a felony record and you can answer “no” to any question regarding a felony conviction.
The decision to reduce the nature of a conviction is discretionary with the Court, and section 17 (b) motions can be opposed by the DA.
Our fees are more than reasonable: $750.00, which and includes a Petition for Reduction to Misdemeanor and if, applicable, a Petition for Expungement, plus the hearing. This covers all court appearances, filing fees, and necessary research.
