Re: Violent felonies

It's possible a lawyer can 1) get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor (because he didn't do state prison time) and 2) then get the misdemeanor expunged.

It may be possible to do in a couple steps by Motions, as long as he wasn't sentenced to or served prison time. Feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing, to discuss the facts and costs.
