    Default How to Ask for a Pardon from Governor for Early Probation Termination

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
    I was sentenced 15 years probation for Grand Theft 1st Degree. I worked for a very known health insurance company and I did fraud checks for around $280,000.00. Which that money did not all go to me, I would make them under other peoples names and have them cash the checks and the monies would be divided. I have already served 7 years and I am paying restitution. I was arrested a few months after my husband passed away in a car accident & I was told if i did not accept the plea I would get 25 years in prison. I was afraid of leaving my 3 children who were under age alone after loosing their father & then me being incarcerated so I accepted the plea. My lawyer never tried to fight to give me a better offer. From the beginning he always said I should take the 15 years. I have been clean, never violated my probation & have always gone to see my probation officer every month. From everything happening to me all at once I was disabled because of my nerves, depression and being affraid of violating my probation even if its due to traffic infractions. I would like to know how can I ask the governor for a pardon so I can have my probation terminated. I would really appreciate the help.

    Generally speaking, you have given no reason for the governor to consider this action.

    Have you paid off 100% of your restitution? I expect that your probation is long because you are making small payments. If in fact you've paid off your restitution and all of your assessments the court or your probation officer may be willing to consider early discharge.

    You can review the rules for seeking clemency here.
