How long it would take me to receive a court date for early termination?

I have a felony charge of sales that also came with a DUI because I was in my car when it happened. I have paid all fines. (The crime was done on a week visit to another state) I was told by my probation officer that in speaking with my new state probation officer and seeing I have paid all fines I should go for early termination of probation. I was wondering how long it would take me to receive a court date for early termination. I currently have 5 months until I reach 2 years, which is when I was told I could go for it. I just wanted to make sure I did everything correctly so I could get off probation asap.

Less than a month. Depends on the court. You have to give the DA 10 court days notice of the hearing after you file the motion.

You have to give DA a minimum of 10 COURT days [business days] notice. Some courts try to enforce an internal time system.

You should speak to an attorney to discuss this case. I am not sure what state the original conviction is from. That information is necessary to answer your question. However if I had to guess, I would say that you should be able to get a court date within six weeks of requesting a court date. Keep in mind that you will also have to have a motion prepared and proof of compliance included with the motion so you should allow at least two months.
