You cannot "expunge" anything in California. We don't have a true "expungement" law. What you're probably talking about is a dismissal under Penal Code 1203.4. Everybody calls that an expungement, but it doesn't take it off your record. First - you may not be able to get the dismissal yet. You have to be off probation and have no charges pending. If you were placed on 3 years of probation, you have to get an early termination of probation before you can request the dismissal. If it was 2 years probation, great - you can try for the dismissal now. Can you get it reduced to a misdemeanor? Not every felony can be reduced. If it is a "wobbler" (meaning it can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor), then you can seek to have it reduced, then dismissed. Can you do this yourself? Yes, but unless you know what you're doing, you stand a good chance your request to do anything will be denied. Is the price fair? It's in the ball park. Shop around and see what others are quoting you.
