Re: wobbler

The answer is no......it will not automatically revert to a misdemeanor. However, I have very good news for you. Not only can I have the conviction reduced to a misdemeanor, I CAN HAVE THE ENTIRE CONVICTION EXPUNGED FROM HIS RECORD!!!!!!!

Upon the proper motion, an attorney can reduce a "wobbler" from a felony to a misdemeanor, and in certain instances, have the entire conviction expunged from one's record. For more information on this unique situation, please feel free to contact me at (818) 398-3788 or visit my website for more information on expungements.

Re: wobbler

He has to petition the court to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor. While he's at it, he should also petition for expungement pursuant to PC section 1203.4, which allows him to deny the conviction for most (but not all purposes).

Re: wobbler

The conviction will not revert to a misdemeanor automatically. You must petition the court to have it reduced. We can certainly assist you with this. Give us a call and we can help you file for an expungement as well.

Re: wobbler

On all felony convictions in which no time was spent in prison the conviction may be downgraded to a misdemeanor conviction. Being a wobbler or not has nothing to do with it. Steve Mandell was correct.

However, the CEB book on criminal law several years ago talked about then down grading the misdemeanor conviction. But you must file a petition with the court to get the matter started.

I have seen the felony conviction downgraded even before the probation period was completed after all or a substantial portion of the community service was completed when there were special circumstances.
