    Default Early Release Fees for Probation, and Reducing a Felony to a Misdemeanor

    I was convicted of a felony (credit card fraud) and am approaching 6 months of a 1 year probation sentence in Michigan. My probation officer said that I will probably get an early release after 6 months. My questions are these: 1) I am currently paying a probation supervision fee of $140 per month. Do I stop paying that if I’m released early or do I have to pay all of that to be released early? And 2) is it possible to have this charged reduced to a misdemeanor or will it always be a felony? Thanks.

    Supervision fees are fees paid for supervision. No supervision, no fee.

    In Michigan, expect to continue to have a felony. If this is your only offense, you will eventually (five years after sentencing or, if applicable, release from incarceration) be eligible to petition for an expungement.

    It is also an important fact to take in to account of wether you had an attorney when convicted of the felony. If you did not have one it is possible to have the conviction overturned.

    Possible, in the sense that it's possible to win the lottery. Unlikely, but possible.
