If you were charged with an aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, most likely someone was significantly injured or there was substantial property damage or both stemming from the arrest that you are writing about.
I suggest that in order to try and get the current felony charge against you reduced to a misdemeanor, you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to assist you as soon as possible. Potentially an experienced criminal defense attorney may get a settlement offer of a misdemeanor charge as to the incident that you were arrested for.
If you plead out to a felony, the only way you can get it off your record is to possibly bring a motion later on to expunge it. Expunging a felony conviction is difficult to do.
