Q: I was placed on probation for 8 years. My crime was aggravated domestic assault
Since then the order of no contact was lifted and signed by Judge Vance. I have completed my ordered classes, paid off my fines and court costs. I still reside with the "victim".
I am at the halfway mark in terms of my probation.
How can I go about filing a motion for termination from probation?
I strongly feel that my probation will speak on my behalf.
How much does representation cost? What are my chances?
Note: I do have 1 technical violation over 1 year ago

A: You can file a Motion to Modify your Sentence to Unsupervised Probation for the remainder. You need all costs paid perfectly, and the PO or DA can oppose it if they want. These Motions are usually granted if not immediately, then later. I recommend you have a competent attorney file it and argue it.
