California Sentence Modifications

Under most circumstances a sentence that is imposed by a court upon an individual can be modified or changed during the period of probation. Over the past 21 years, Wallin & Klarich has been successful in modifying terms of probation for their clients. The typical situation would involve reducing the jail time previously imposed by the court or changing a condition of probation i.e. (no contact orders changed, travel restrictions lifted, probation transfers to other counties or states, etc.)

Many times there has been a change of circumstance with the client 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. We also have been successful modifying probation so a client can spend the balance of his jail time under house arrest or on a weekend work program.

Feel free to contact Wallin & Klarich for a free consultation if you are interested in a sentence modification. Depending on the court and type of case, most modifications require a formal motion be prepared by an attorney and a hearing date set.
