Q: How to get off Felony First time offense Probation early in Arkansas?
My husbands probation officer told him he wanted to release him, but he needed to petition the court. He gave us a few numbers, but I am really lost in all of this and have no idea on where to start.
A:
The judge sometimes will consent and take your husband off of probation early. We will need the prosecutor to agree also. You have a very good chance of getting the felony sealed from your husband’s record.
Please realize that even though the record is sealed, other agencies such as private.com is Matt still have the information and use it for a background check. The state of Arkansas will clear the record but these other organizations may not get the message. If one of these people do happen to have the information incorrect you will have to send them a copy of the order and they will fix their records
With all that said you should expect to pay between 2000 and $3000 to do all of this. Some people try to do this by themselves and they usually have a lot of trouble because it is done incorrectly. Hire a lawyer to do this for you
