Under Section 1203.3 of the California Penal Code, a person on probation may petition for an early termination of probation if he or she can show sufficient cause. Upon filing a successful motion to terminate probation, you will be eligible to begin the expungement process to have your juvenile or adult record cleared of any state misdemeanor or felony conviction.
