The only way your case can be reduced to a misdemeanor is by negotiations with the state Attorney, during the plea bargaining your attorney could pursue probation, periodic confinement, (where you only serve time on the weekend and could work during the week) other options would be community service, a fine and work release if the only option is confinement, all of these would require approval by the state attorney and in court by the judge.~
