Torrance Probation Modification Attorney Success # 2

Our client was arrested and charged with three (3) misdemeanors for violating California Vehicle Code Section 2800.1(a) (“Evading Arrest”), Vehicle Code Section 23103 (“Reckless Driving”) and Penal Code Section 148(a) (“Resisting Arrest/Public Officer”).

Our client was granted 36 months of summary probation and ordered to attend a minimum of six months at a special program in Arizona and pay $238 in fees and restitution.

After finishing his program in Arizona, our client quickly ran into problems finding employment that had any upward mobility, as he was on probation.  Each employer would ask or find out about his criminal record and offer him jobs with little responsibility.  He would then see other employees promoted who were clearly less educated and less motivated.  Some employers conceded that he was qualified, but the employer could not give him the position because of his probation.  

Our client successfully completed 30 months of his summary probation without incident.

Greg Hill & Associates then moved the court for modification of our client's probation, asking that the court end probation to remove the ceiling on our client’s employment future.  

Greg Hill & Associates appeared at the hearing and argued to the court that our client was eligible for the relief sought and had worked hard for 30 months to get a promotion that would only escape his reach because of his status of being on probation.  The court granted our request to have our client’s probation terminated.
