Felony Reduction Medford

Take the next step toward clearing your record. If you have an old felony in Oregon, you may qualify to reduce it to a misdemeanor under state law. In many cases, that’s the key step before restoring firearm or hunting rights. Oregon Gun Law guides you through every part of the process—from eligibility review to court filing in Jackson County Circuit Court.

Oregon Gun Law is a Medford-based legal service led by attorney Shawn Kollie, focusing exclusively on Oregon record-relief and firearms-rights restoration. We’ve helped hundreds of Oregonians reduce convictions, clear records, and regain their rights statewide—all through plain-English, statute-accurate guidance.

How a Felony Reduction Can Help You
  • Regain Eligibility: Many firearm and hunting rights depend on your conviction level.

  • Unlock Opportunities: Employers and landlords often treat a misdemeanor very differently than a felony.

  • Simplify Expungement: Reducing first can make later expungement under ORS 137.225 faster and smoother.

Understanding Felony Reduction in Oregon

Oregon courts may allow certain felony convictions to be reclassified as misdemeanors if you meet eligibility requirements.
Typically, the court looks at:

  • Type of offense and your full criminal record

  • Completion of probation and payment of restitution

  • Whether you’ve demonstrated good conduct since conviction

While no single statute governs every case, felony reductions often rely on the court’s authority under ORS 161.705 or specific post-judgment relief provisions.
