Early Probation Termination

San Diego Early Probation Termination Lawyer

California law allows a judge to terminate a defendant’s probation earlier than scheduled. In many cases, if a judge grants early probation termination, he or she is also more likely to erase the criminal record too. In order for a judge to grant an early probation termination, the judge will consider:

  • If you have successfully completed the terms of your probation, such as probation time, community classes, and payment of fees and fines. Most judges will not consider a request for early probation release if you have not completed at least 50 percent of your probation.
  • Your age, criminal history, and seriousness of the crime you were charged with. For example, if you have 15 convictions the judge is less likely to grant you early termination.
  • If there are circumstances that justify an early release from probation.

Can You Request Early Termination?

If probation is keeping you from finding employment or is preventing you from living your life as you did before your conviction, please call an early probation termination attorney in San Diego at San Diego Expungement Attorney Group to find out if you are able to request an early termination. After speaking to you and hearing your story, we can tell you if filing a petition is an option. There are many benefits to getting your probation terminated earlier than scheduled, including:

  • All of the restrictions and rules imposed on you by probation will be removed.

  • The process of getting your conviction expunged may be faster.

Early Probation and Expungement

Did you know that if a court grants an early probation termination, we could also request the conviction be expunged? In most cases, if the court agrees to release an individual from probation early they can also erase his or her criminal conviction at the same hearing.

When you meet with us, we will go over all of the qualifications that must me bet in order to move forward with an early probation release and expungement. Here are a few qualifications we will look for:

  • The charges filed against you and the resulting conviction took place in a state court, not a federal court.
  • The requirements of your sentence have been met. For example, you have paid all fines and completed all mandatory classes.
  • You are not on probation for another crime, serving a sentence for another criminal offense, and are not currently charged with another criminal offense.
  • You are currently on probation and have completed at least half of your probationary term (some exceptions may apply).
