Does NJ Law Allow For Early Termination Of Probation?
Terminating Probation is possible, but it’s not easy.
Under NJ Law (N.J.S.A. 2C:45-2) a defendant may seek a court order terminating probation early.
Our firm will contact your probation officer to confirm that you have complied with all conditions of probation.
We go a step further and draft a memorandum listing all of the reasons why your probationary term should be terminated early.
In our experience, clients have made extremely good use of their time and have finished college, earned vocational degrees, have become parents, and have risen in the ranks of their industry.
For example, many clients have gone from entry-level employees all the way up to general managers.
We incorporate these achievements in our correspondence to our client’s probation officers.
Our focus is to show how much you’ve changed (in a good way) since the day you were sentenced.
It is not enough to show that you stayed out of trouble.
We tell your story in the light most favorable to you and society.
Is Terminating Probation In NJ Expensive?
Depends on who you hire to represent you.
We charge extremely reasonable rates.
In fact we only charge a flat fee regardless of how long the process takes.
Is Terminating Probation A Lengthy Process?
The process is not lengthy, nor complicated, as long as the client cooperates.
After contacting your probation officer to get their blessing, the process involves six steps.
First, we obtain all of your sentencing and probationary documents.
Second, we meet with you and interview you.
Third, we draft our motion and show it to you for your approval.
Fourth, we file our motion with the appropriate court.
Fifth, we wait to see if there is an objection from the county prosecutor’s office.
Sixth, we file and prepare for our hearing before a Superior Court judge.
What Things Will The Judge Consider when terminating probation?

Being On Probation Is Like Being tied to the ol' ball & chain
You most likely plead guilty to something.
In addition to any fines, penalties, community service, and incarceration, you’ve probably been sentenced to probation.
You have turned your life around and perhaps want to travel or relocate.
Maybe you’d like to pursue a career abroad but cannot leave the state due to your probation & reporting requirements.
