Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

That question needs to be posed to a judge.

Terminating early will not benefit your job search.

However, some CA convictions can be 'expunged' from criminal records by proper application and Petition to the court, but ONLY IF there was no felony prison time sentenced whether served or not, and if it was not for certain listed sexual crimes, and if all terms of sentencing and at least one year of probation are completed, and if there are no new charges pending.

If successful, the conviction would be withdrawn and the charges dismissed. Expungement does NOT �clear�, 'remove', �erase� or �disappear� the conviction, but does change the record to show an arrest with 'conviction reversed and charges dismissed by expungement'. The conviction is still a 'prior' or 'strike' for purposes of repeat offenses. Expungement will help in obtaining employment. When applying for a job in the private sector, in response to any question concerning your prior criminal record, you may �legally� deny that you were arrested or convicted of the offense.

If you�re serious about doing this, and you think you qualify under those rules, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.

possibly ... depends on what you're on probation for, if you completed all requirement successfully, what happened if anything while on probation ... and the Judge. Good luck!

The biggest question is what are you on probation for? If it's a DUI, many judges won't terminate early, period. Others will consider it after 2 years (at a bare minimum, 18 months), assuming you haven't had any violations and have completed everything required of you, including paying any court fees/fines/costs and any restitution.

Find a local criminal defense attorney and discuss this face to face with them. Most offer free initial consultations.
