It can be reduced only if the DA agrees, usually as part of a plea bargain.

There is no way to tell for sure "how it will play out in court"...however, in a situation like yours it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges and providing you the likeliest opportunity to get the best deal possible...We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
