Reduce Your Felony

Know Your Rights

On November 4, 2014, California voters passed Proposition 47, a law that changed certain low-level crimes from potential felonies to misdemeanors. The savings from reduced incarceration costs will be invested into drug and mental health treatment, programs for at-risk students in K-12 schools, and victim services.

 

Individuals with a prior felony record for any of the following low-level, nonviolent offenses or who are currently serving time for the following crimes may qualify to change their record or their sentence to a misdemeanor:

  • Simple drug possession

  • Petty theft under $950

  • Shoplifting under $950

  • Forgery under $950

  • Writing a bad check under $950

  • Receipt of stolen property under $950

For more information about reducing your eligible felony, or to just learn more about Prop 47, please contact us for a free phone or home consultation

Get involved to help improve community safety, spread the word about Proposition 47 and to ensure that the savings generated from Proposition 47 are invested wisely.
