Probation Lawyer in Baltimore County, Maryland

Early Termination of Probation in Maryland

Shepard Law, an award-winning and affordable criminal defense firm in Towson, Maryland, understands that life circumstances can change, potentially making early termination of probation a viable option for some individuals.  As a family-operated law practice, we recognize the importance of tailoring our legal services to meet the unique needs of each client.

Early termination of probation or conversion from supervised to unsupervised probation may be possible in certain situations.  For instance, if you were placed on supervised probation primarily to ensure payment of restitution, you might be eligible for a change in your probation status once that restitution has been fully paid.  At Shepard Law, we can help you navigate this complex process and determine if you qualify for early termination or a modification to your probation terms.

Maryland law allows for the modification of probation orders during the probationary period.  The court may modify, clarify, or terminate any condition(s) of probation after giving the defendant an opportunity to be heard.  This provision opens the door for individuals who have demonstrated substantial compliance with their probation terms to seek early termination or other favorable modifications.

Modification of Probation Conditions in Maryland

Probation often carries with it many standard conditions and some special conditions.  Following all of the conditions of probation can sometimes be extremely difficult or create a hardship on the probationer and his or her family.  Luckily, Md. Rule 4-346(b) allows for the modification of probation conditions at any time if the appropriate motion is filed with the court. 

Our experienced criminal defense lawyer at Shepard Law can assess your specific situation, review your compliance with existing probation conditions, and craft a compelling argument for modification of your probation.  We understand that each case is unique, and we strive to provide personalized legal strategies that align with your goals and circumstances.
