Your attorney can help you seek an expungement, and in some cases, you can begin before your probation is over by requesting early termination of probation. However, probation is set at a certain time for a reason, and these requests are not often granted. The time parameters are to ensure you behave as you should. The courts conditionally release you to the community for three years on a DUI where if you do not get in additional trouble, you will not go to jail.
The goal of probation is to prove that you can stay out of trouble. So, what they’ll do is you’ll have 6 months in jail hanging over your head while you are being conditionally released to the community.
