Eligibility assessment

Probation Eligibility Assessment

Use this form to provide basic information for an attorney review. Completing the assessment does not establish eligibility, guarantee early termination or create an attorney-client relationship.

Tell us about your sentence and where you are in it. Attorney David Hoffman reviews what you send. An initial consultation is free, and telephone enquiries are accepted 24/7 on (954) 459-4236.

This form does not decide anything

Nothing here scores your answers or tells you whether you qualify. Eligibility for early termination is a legal judgement that depends on your sentencing documents, and it can only be made by an attorney who has read them. Any site that gives you an instant answer is not giving you a reliable one.

Before you start

Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not make what you send confidential. Please give us enough to assess the case and no more — do not include details you would not want read by someone who has not yet been able to check for a conflict of interest. If your matter is urgent, particularly if a warrant may have been issued, contact us directly rather than waiting on a form.

01 How to reach you

Full name

We reply here unless you ask us to call instead.

Preferred contact method

02 Your sentence

All of this is on your judgment and sentence. Approximate answers are fine — we confirm the exact figures from the paperwork.

Florida county of sentencing

The county that imposed the sentence, not the one you live in now.

Sentencing date

Approximate is fine if you are unsure.

Length of probation

Approximately how much have you served?

Probation or community control?

These are different under Florida law and the answer changes what can be asked for. The difference explained.

03 Where you stand

These are the three things that most often decide whether a request is worth making yet. Answer honestly — an accurate no is more useful to you than an optimistic maybe.

Are all conditions complete?

Classes, treatment, community service and any special condition.

Restitution, fines and costs

The most common single reason a request is denied.

Violation history

04 Anything else

Briefly, what would you like to achieve? (optional)

A few sentences is plenty. Please keep out anything you would not want read before a conflict check has been done.

05 Consent

I understand that sending this form does not create an attorney-client relationship, that what I send is not confidential until such a relationship exists, and that no one has assessed my eligibility yet.

No eligibility determination is made by submitting this form. An attorney must review your case information first.

What happens next

We read what you sent

And come back if something important is missing — usually the exact balance owed.

An attorney reviews it

Against the sentencing documents, which is the only way the question can actually be answered.

You get a straight answer

Including if it is that the case is not ready yet, and what would need to change.

Not sure this is the right request?

Eligibility covers what a court weighs, and reasons for denial covers what usually stands in the way. If ending supervision is not realistic yet, a modification or administrative probation may be.
