All of the restrictions coming to an end will also help the offender rehabilitate themselves as a productive and capable member of society much sooner.
My experience with the Fernandez Law Group and Jeff Quisenberry has been very positive. My son violated felony probation. Jeff has done everything he can do to get the least amount of prison time for my son. I am so very thankful to have him representing my son.

Here in the Tampa Bay area, even if a convicted offender believes they are not eligible for an early termination of probation, we often find that they may still be able to terminate their probation early anyway.
Regardless of the underlying offense, and regardless of what a judge may have said at sentencing, Florida Law permits anyone the right to petition for an early termination of probation. And according to Florida Statutes 948.04, the court is permitted to terminate probation at any time for any reason.

What are the eligibility requirements for early termination of probation?
In the State of Florida, anyone is eligible to file for an early termination of probation. However, this does not mean a judge is required to grant or approve the request. Fortunately, there are a few factors our attorneys can assist with which should certainly help increase the chances of the judge agreeing with those requests and granting the motion.
The Florida Statutes list the following factors as reasonable grounds to make the request:
- Serving at least half of your probationary period before filing a petition to terminate probation;
- Paying all required costs and fees associated with your probation; and
- Completing all other requirements of your probation including community service requirements or attending classes and substance abuse counseling.
Additionally, the probation requirements for every offender will probably be different. Those requirements will be available from two sources – when the judge initially announced them in court at the time of sentencing, and also in the Order of Probation.
What is the process for early termination of probation?
Provided an individual has met the above stated eligibility requirements as per the Florida Statutes, and generally completed at least half of their probationary sentence, as well as having met any other requirements as set forth in the Order of Probation, they will be provided with an opportunity to file a Motion to Terminate Probation Early in order to apply for early termination of probation. A qualified criminal defense attorney can assist by filing the motion on your behalf, while also strengthening the case for early termination of probation, and also ensuring all of the formalities, formatting and requirements are met.
Generally, a Motion for Early Termination of Probation will require the name of the person on probation, a case number, and the division where sentencing of the offender occurred. Your attorney will also include a Proposed Order for the judge to sign if the Motion for Early Termination of Probation request is granted.
A copy of the motion will be filed with the clerk’s office and a copy is also required to be sent to the offender’s probation officer, as well as another copy to the state attorney’s office. The clerk will set a hearing date after the motion is filed. Once the date is set, a Notice of Hearing will be filed and served on the offender’s probation officer as well as the state’s attorney’s office.
