Serialize model with only properties I want

I have two models in my MVC4 application defined like this:

public class Attendee
{
    public string ID { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string DOB { get; set; }
    public string Address1 { get; set; }
    public string Address2 { get; set; }
    public string Address3 { get; set; }
    public string City { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string Zip { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string Phone { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Employer { get; set; }
    public Info _Info { get; set; }
}
public class Info
{
    public string License { get; set; }
    public string State { get; set; }
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public int Declined { get; set; }
}

I need to also be able to totally remove the Info from an Attendee object before it is converted to JSON.

Or should I create another model without it and somehow transfer the values from one to the other?

What is the simplest way to do this?

Luckily you don't have circular reference in your model, so you can put [JsonIgnore] on any properties which you don't want in json format:

[JsonIgnore]
public Info _Info { get; set; }
