Sentence Modification

(FREE CONSULTATION)

 

If you have been sentenced or convicted of a crime, and you can’t perform the sentence requirements, or weren’t aware of some of the conditions, or if you are just having a problem doing a certain condition of your sentence on time, a sentence that is imposed by a court upon an individual can be modified or changed during the period of probation.. The typical situation would involve reducing the jail time previously imposed by the court or changing a condition of probation.

 

Even if you admitted you were guilty, and you had an attorney with you, you can ask the court to revise its orders to accommodate whatever problems you may be facing. If you have been placed on probation, the courts allow revisions of the terms of probation.

 

Many times there has been a change of circumstance, or an unexpected situation arises that can create "good cause" for the Judge to modify their previous orders. Making restitution, attending a counseling class or perhaps a death in the family can prompt a Judge to change their original orders. Judges often will look at and evaluate a case differently then they did when they originally imposed sentence.

 

A typical situation would involve modifying jail time previously imposed by the court to some other form of incarceration, or community service; or changing some other condition of probation, perhaps for a restricted driver’s license, or modification of a restraining order, or converting fines that are impossible to pay each month.
