It is all up to you. Honestly, your chances are slim just because of the lvl of the felony. But don't dwell on the minuses. This is what can get your felony lowered from my experience with getting into trouble a coulple times: 1) Don't get into anymore trouble. 2( If you were sentenced to Probation, complete it succesfully. Your Probation officer can really help you down the road in getting it reduced. 3( pay all fines and community service. Basically, you need to show the courts that you are a productive citizen again and that reducing your felony will help in gaining employment , school, or starting a career. It's never to late, whether it's been 1mnth or 2 yrs. 4( If it's your first offense you should consider getting it expunged altogether. That's even better than a reduction. Ultimately the decision to grant a reduction or an expungement is up to the judge that hears your case. Sincerity and willingness to change (college, work, etc) go a long way. They don't give these things to everyone. Make them feel that you are different. Hope that helps anyone out there. Don't give up. It's not how you fell. It's what you did once you got up!
