how do I convert a felony into a misdemeanor in Arizona?

Question

1. Class VI in 1999 and Class V in 2003. Time served, no warrants, no new charges since 2003. Need to clean record in order to get employment. Don't have money for attorney. Where do I start to do this myself?

Answer 1

Conversion is one thing. Pleading a felony down to a misdemeanor is another. You've already bypassed the plea process, and I doubt that Arizona Law is any different than my state. Stay out of trouble, work where you can, and don't get your hopes up too high. A felony is a felony. You may be able to get it exponged, Seek legal counsel, or free advocacy. There is help available. Good Luck.

Answer 2

3 felonies here all in 2000 served 2.5year in prison Once your a felon your always a felon soory to tell ya bud your screwed like the rest of us. I work construction I suggest you do the same nobody else will have you.

Answer 3

Easy. Next time, just steal less. I think anything under $5k is a misdemeanor, and anything over $5k is a felony.

GTA is a felony, even if it's a shiatty car. So don't do that.

Answer 4

Im sorry youre stuck in this posistion. I know it's hard. I can't rly tell you how to get it reduced..I know your chances would def. be better with an attorney. Not sum court appointed one either.
But do be good...in 7 yrs arent they dropped? I know it's hard but keep ur head up. Research court records, talk to attorneys or somebody you know w/ knowledge in this area...
Good Luck
