A:
If you had an attorney when you first went to court, you should contact that attorney for help. If you didn't have an attorney, you have a few options.
If you have been compliant with probation and color code, you can try writing the judge a letter by sending it to the clerks office in the county where your charges are. In the letter, you want to explain that you have done everything asked of you by your probation officer. You'll want to reference your case number in the letter.
However, your best chance at being released from probation is to hire an attorney in your county. Judges are more likely to follow through when there is an attorney involved. For best results, look up an attorney in the county where your charges are located and call them for advice.
