if a felony is dropped to a misdemeanor, does that mean that the you will be sentenced according to guidelines of a misdemeanor? Or will it be a felony? Just asking because someone said that they just drop it so your record won't affect you when it comes to job..just curious?

If you plead out from a felony to a misdemeanor...your sentence will be based upon the conviction of the misdemeanor not the felony!
Thats the reason your attorney tries to plea you to a lesser charge!
Best wishes.

The sentencing will be in accordance with the misdemeanor.

You will be sentenced to the misdemeanor guidelines. That's why it was reduced so that you can receive the lesser sentence.
