Early release from probation...

Probation is a very common outcome to many cases in the State of New York. While it is common to have 3 year probation (misdemeanors) and 5 year probation (felonies) periods, most peole are unaware of the fact that after serving just a bit over half of their probationary period they may petition for an early release.

An attorney could assist you in getting off of probation after serving only half the time. This is EXTREMELY important because probation is without question a major imposition on anyones life, however where it is the biggest problem where a person is arrested again while on probation, if the possibility exists to escape from the grips of the probation officers hands this should be done as soon as possible.

Ive encountered many cases where a person was unaware of the fact that they qualified for early release from probation and was rearrested on a minor charge, however the fact that they were still on probation creates a major issues unnecessarily.

lesson to be learned... know your rights in any given situation and ensure you claim them the very moment youre entitled to them!
