I have already been sentenced and currently on probation
Since you are already sentenced and on probation, you may still be able to file a motion to withdraw your plea, but it can be more challenging. You will need to show that you were not aware of the grounds for withdrawing your plea at the time of sentencing. It is highly recommended to consult with a lawyer who can assist you with this process.
