Reckless Driving Legal Consequences

Summary

If arrested for reckless driving, driving without a license, and meth possession, ensure all documents related to your Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and communication with your attorney are organized. Gather proof of clean drug tests and employment. Discuss any communication failures with your attorney and ensure they present all evidence to the court. Consider seeking a second opinion from another attorney to explore your options and potentially avoid jail time.

I got arrested for reckless driving, driving without a license, and controlled substance (meth) and went to jail. They set my bond at * no *%. So I was given the opportunity to get out on pre trial release my wife signed on. I was supposed to go to IOP for my condition release which since I live in Hamilton county oh. Instead of doing IOP at that place my lawyer mentioned in court I would be transferring my IOP to the county I live in. And the court agreed to that and said I just needed to hurry up and get started with IOP. My attorney said when I got started with IOP just send him my paperwork and he would let the courts know and so I did that and sent my attorney the paperwork which he completely ignored and didn't email me back about it. So I was informed December 4th when I woke up my wife had an email from my attorney asking if I was coming in today she asked why and he said I had court which I was never informed that I even had court even after me and my wife asked weeks ago when my next court date was and he again ignored me. When I first got locked up they wrote down the address on my ID and I told them it was wrong and tried to give them my new address and my wife even emailed that to my attorney and he ignored that. Well when I talked to my attorney after he called me he said that the court had already violated me anyway even before today because it looked like I wasn't attending my IOP classes because there was no communication between the courts and my lawyer. My attorney said he was gonna get me a new court date. He also said he knew it wasn't my fault but when I went to court there's a chance I might get arrested because of the violation because they didn't communicate with each other. My attorney said if I get one more clean drug test and bring proof of employment i might not go to jail but he's not *% sure. How am I getting punished for them not communicating with each other! I have proof I sent my attorney everything I needed to do.
