You do not give any details so answering this question isn't possible other than to say that if you are facing a felony conviction you absolutely need to get an attorney ASAP. Getting a charge reduced down is certainly possible but your lawyer can best consult you on your specific case. Just know that if you have a previously clean record this will go a long way in any argument to reduce down the charge; if you a criminal history obviously this will hurt your changes. But again not having all the facts makes it impossible to say for sure.
