So I was given 3 years probation plead guilty but was given a PBJ I want to close my probation early my only conditions are comply with mental health which I have been doing but I have been doing other classes also have certificates , enrolled in college, no issues on probation my probation isn’t objecting it should I wait until a year an half to have my lawyer file a motion to try and what’s the chances also I’ll have reference letters from personal, and my therapist and psychiatrist is there a good chance it could be closed out early due to everything I am doing? Also if it’s closed out early can I file an expungement after it’s closed or do I have to wait the 3 years I keep reading different things if someone can give me the answer thank you
A: You can always file a motion requesting that the judge terminate probation early or even request an early expungement of your criminal record. However, whether the timing and reasons in support of your request are sufficient or appropriate at this time would require more evaluation. Discuss this issue with a lawyer in private, so that relevant information can be shared and discussed.
