Question

can a misdemeanor charge be changed to a felony charge if i do not take plea agreement and wnat a jury trial?



Answer

No, if the State's Attorney was going to upgrade your case it would have been done prior to any plea agreement. Unless you were originally charged with a felony and the state's offer was to reduce the charges.

A misdemeanor charge cannot be changed to a felony charge as a result of you rejecting the state's offer.

If you would like to discuss your matter, please call me at 773-791-9682

Good luck
