Qualifications for Probation Termination

Our firm can begin by collecting information on your conviction and assure all relevant information is in front of the judge. You petition can include information regarding your offense, the probationer, letters of recommendation, proof of compliance with the terms of probation, and other material.

To qualify for an early probation termination certain requirements must be met:

• Your conviction must have been in state rather than federal court
• You are not currently charged with another criminal offense or on probation for another crime
• You must currently be on probation and, preferably, you have served at least half the term
• All fines, restitution, mandatory programs, community service, and classes have been satisfied

Typically, an early termination takes between 6 and 12 weeks which is why you should contact a Santa Ana criminal defense lawyer from my firm as soon as possible to begin your petition.
