I was granted an extension to pay off the remaining balance ($1,100+) of my fees/fines for driving on a suspended license...

Asked 5 months ago - Los Angeles, CA

... after a DUI arrest that was reduced to a wet reckless. What can I do to have that due balance reduced (I've already paid off $400.00 so far) and is there any way I can still get that misdemeanor driving with a suspended license conviction reduced to an infraction?


(I'm in CA, LA County)

    You will likely not be able to reduce the misdemeanor to an infraction at this point.
