How to Get Felony Charge Reduced to Misdemeanor

Tennessee criminal defense attorney Patrick Stegall describes ways to negotiate a felony charge down to a misdemeanor.

I need a lawyer like Mr.Stegall. Only I can only make 259$ a month payments. This world just wants to see anyone locked up… innocent or guilty.

When applying for any felony expungement, be sure to file a 17(b) as well which is simply a request to have your felony reduced to a misdemeanor before the expungement. These can be done at the same time and the judge can grant the reduction and expungement at the same time. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT hire an attorney for this. An attorney will charge you 1500 to 5000 dollars. Go to the public defenders office. They will assist you in filling out and filing the paperwork for FREE!

I used to be teased for being square and those same individuals are now deceased or in jail on felony charges... Thank God for resistance from temptations and for my moms teaching me right from wrong growing up .... 44 years in and my record is squeaky clean, tf

For people living in a perfect world delusion, a person can get arrested with no resistance for speeding and the officer can escalate the charge to retaliation felony for saying you will see him in court and fight the ticket. We no longer live in a free country in the USA

Thank you for this video I needed to hear that I might have a chance to get it reduced

Nope. Not in McHenry County (Illinois). Walked into an ER, gave a false name (not proud - addiction issue 2015). It was charged as a FORGERY felony. Yes. I am a professional (PhD) with NO background, and in spite of our attempts - the prosecution (and judge) insisted that I was such a threat to society, that I must accept a felony conviction. My entire life took a big hit. Fortunately, my career and my ability to take care of my family, wasn’t destroyed because of my professional history and ally’s (pharmaceutical medical writer). But, I couldn’t help but feel for people with rough lives and no education as a felony all but destroy’s their chances of ‘legally’ taking care of their own family’s. We are product’s of our own decisions, no doubt. But a felony makes your bad decision last a lifetime. And that’s ridiculous. Something that I never thought about until 2015.

That horrible time has passed and I’ve moved on. But, when I saw this pop-up on YouTube, I couldn’t leave without a comment. I’m sure you are an excellent attorney. But, during a time when America watched one violent criminal after another get their charges dropped or downgraded, because of the usual ‘marginalized’ BS excuse - McHenry County needed my case to stick. No mercy for the near-victimless crime. The ‘wiggle room’ we all see everyday, like a rapper (already a felon), somehow getting his gun charge dropped - even though it was in his pocket, makes most working people sick. I will never look at the ‘justice system’ the same again. (Fun fact - the prosecutor’s daughter goes to school with my daughter. That was an interesting non-conversation. And a master-class in personal restraint.) What a world.

Listening to this makes me so angry all over again. I new I had a terrible lawyer but he never offered any of these options. I had a solid work history was employed at that time for over 10 years the same place, no priors not even parking tickets, was a mother of 6 with a college degree. I’m just now working on a reduction or expungement so that I can get my clinical license.

I was a dumb 18 year old, I got charged with theft 2 which is a Class C?? felony in Alaska. They put me on 6 months unsupervised probation, told me just stay out of trouble for 6 months. I got that done they dropped the Felony to a Class A Misdemeanor. And they said my case was dismissed.

My question is am I still a convicted felon and if my case was dismissed am I still convicted of anything Felony or Misdemeanor???

Edit: I was 18 at the time I was so confused and scared to death. The whole process was confusing to me. I am 21 year old now
