You're welcome, ****! If you have any more questions in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Take care and best of luck with your situation. Have a great day!
I have a court appointed attorney, should I make him/her aware of this situation? I am 50 years old and this is the first time I've ever been in trouble. Not even a speeding ticket. I am a level * on probation. When I started probation I was addicted to fentanyl and today I'm proud to say after 7 years using daily I am 105 days clean. When I kept failing my drug test I never was offered any help, just told I was going to be sent to dry out, or put in jail. It's known at probation that I'm naive to the laws and scared to death of jail and I feel like that's why I'm always being told I'm going to jail.
Yes, you should inform your court-appointed attorney about your situation. They are there to advocate for you and your progress with sobriety is vital information. It may be beneficial if you're facing legal consequences due to your past drug use.
No matter what it is she always threatens to put me in jail.
It sounds like you're in a challenging situation. It's indeed crucial to inform your attorney about this issue. They can help address your concerns in court. Remember, probation officers hold a lot of power, but they aren't judges. Only a judge can send you to jail.
Thank you and I will reach out to the attorney right away
