Therapy Notes Legal Implications
Summary
Allowing your attorney access to therapy notes without a subpoena can impact privacy and legal strategy. In Florida, therapy confidentiality has exceptions, especially if public safety is at risk. Recreational marijuana use may affect your nursing license due to strict drug policies. The defense might use financial records to suggest marijuana use, but a positive drug test is stronger evidence. Legalized use in Missouri post-injury may complicate relevance. Consider discussing potential impacts on your case and nursing license with a legal professional.Full Conversation
