Answered . Not that I ever recommend you doing this yourself and without a lawyer, but, still, here’s some language for you….

COMES NOW the Defendant, ___________________, pro se, who hereby files the instant Motion for Early Termination of Probation, respectfully requesting entry of an Order in conformity herewith and as grounds heretofore avers as follows:

1. On or about ___________________ this Honorable Court the sentenced the Defendant to serve 24 months of reporting probation.

2. The Defendant, having served more than half of his probationary term, and having complied with all conditions thereof, is now eligible for such early termination.

3. Upon information and belief, he Defendant’s probation officer, ______________________, (____ tel #_________), does not object to the instant motion.

4. Therefore application for the Early Termination of Probation, as well as a request for Hearing hereupon, is hereby respectfully made.

5. The instant motion is made in good faith, with no improper motive and for no improper purpose.

WHEREFORE, the Defendant, ___________________, respectfully prays for entry of an Order in conformity with the relief herein sought., to wit: Early Termination of probation.

Make sure to file the original and provide a copy to the State Attorney’s Office. After you file it make sure to call the Judge’s Judicial Assistant and ask for a hearing date. Note that some JA’s can be a pain in the a** so be sure to follow the rule of the 3 “p”‘s (be patient, pleasant and polite) when you speak with her/him and you should be just fine. Once you get a hearing date and time then you will have to file a Notice of Hearing and copy the State on that as well.

I hope that this has been helpful and wish you the best of luck!
