Motion to Modify Sentence or Probation can be filed at any time after the original sentencing has been imposed by the Courts. Ariz.R.Crim.P., Rule 24.3. This request can be for financial hardship on you to ask the Court to allow your probation fee or restitution fee to be reduced to an affordable amount or modified the amount as it has been paid by an insurance company and the record needs to reflect this. Additionally, it can be to request that deferral jail be deleted or again deferred to continue to prove yourself.

These requests can be done by first contacting the Probation Officer to open up a dialogue and develop a rapport and see about them being on your side. Additionally, we include letters from family, friends and employers detailing all of the positive efforts made since being on probation and explain how certain terms would only be detrimental to rehabilitation and why they should be removed. This is done in order to allow the Court to perceive you as a person and not just as a number.
