Reduce Your Non-Violent Crime Previously Convicted as a Felony in Orange County
Under Proposition 47, a convict who is guilty of certain non-violent felony crimes may petition to get their felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. This applies to any felons still incarcerated for any felony non-violent crime committed. Petitioning to the superior court to reduce the charge requires the help of a defense attorney that is familiar with the inner workings of not only the Proposition itself but the legal system as well.
