Q: I am currently on felony probation via interstate compact for Boone County, I reside in Hamilton County, Ohio. I am also
in Change Court through Heather Russell in Hamilton County. I am requesting assistance with two matters, the first being to see if I can get assistance getting off probation in Boone County since. I am completing an intensive two year program, as I mentioned before and I am trying to move forward with my life. I have completed my CDCA training and can not get certification until I am off all probation. In addition, this program is sealing my record in Ohio, but I will still carry one in Kentucky. I am also wanting to know if there is a way that I could get help in possibly requesting an early expungement. This will help me to find better work and a second chance at life. I understand each state is different, I do have the Judge here willing to write on my behalf to the judge(s) there on this matter. I have reached out to Blue Grass Legal Aide with no response, I just need to know what process I need to take at this point. Thank you.
A: Highly unlikely you will be released from probation in Kentucky early. Almost never happens absent extraordinary reasons. Hence, early expungement is highly unlikely too. You will need to consult an Ohio attorney as to what can be done on that case.
