Early Probation Termination

Probation means that a defendant is released from jail under supervision. But it doesn't mean they're completely free, they are still subject to supervision and must check in with a probation officer. In many instances, they will need the help of a probation lawyer in Los Angeles if they want to modify their probation or terminate it early.

In most cases involving a felony sentence that is not a prison sentence, probation (with supervision) is a term of a defendant's sentence. A defendant may be required to complete drug rehabilitation, educational classes, community service, or community labor. The list of conditions is extensive, but they're required to successfully complete the term of probation. Of course, the defendant also must be free from any further criminal conduct while the on probation.

For those who are serious about their reintegration into society, early termination of probation is possible. In most cases, it can be terminated halfway through the assigned probationary term with the help of a probation lawyer in Los Angeles.

Introduction to Probation Violations

You have already been convicted of a crime and placed on probation. You have started to take care of all of terms of your probation and put your life back together. You have circled the day your probation ends on your calendar. And then, all of sudden, you have a court date for a possible probation violation. You remember what it was like to be arrested initially. You remember the day you were sentenced. You're terrified of seeing the judge again. Are you going back to jail? Or prison? Will you be able to get your record cleared later? What is going to happen….

Generally, probation lasts for three years. Defendants in the California probation system are sometimes mandated to perform community service, attend therapy and other rehabilitative programs, meet with a probation officer, submit to drug testing, perform physical labor and/or provide restitution to their victims. However, even at this stage of the criminal justice process, unexpected things can happen where you may require the services of a probation lawyer in Los Angeles. Penalties for violating the terms of probation depend on how serious the infraction is. Circumstances for past probation violations, how far along the defendant is in the probation process, and whether the violation is a new crime all play into the decision as to what the final penalty will be.

An extension to the term of probation, a new probation sentence with different conditions, or even jail/prison time are all possibilities if the defendant is found in violation of their probation.
