He got caught with vicodin and I want to know if he really needs to get an attorney to represent him if all he wants to ask for is work-release or can he just ask the judge on his own? He wasnt allowed a court represented attorney because of how much he makes, but an attorney we asked for advice wants 2500 down- and my friend doesnt just have that kind of money to pull out his butt. So, can he represent himself and ask for workrelease or does he need to cough up 2500 for a attorney?

Needs to hire his own attorney as he not only is facing jail time, but possibly a felony charge which could affect his ability to get a job for at least the next 10 years, if not the rest of his life.

in case you have a valid prescription for Vicodin then the courtroom could reprimand you for not reporting your prescription while you're on probation. Vicodin is totally criminal with a prescription. yet like all different criminal drugs or alcohol you would be able to desire to abide by the guidelines of the state whilst driving or working heavy equipment. while you're on probation and characteristic vicodin and not utilising a prescription then you definitely are in direct violation of your probation and could in all probability circulate to reformatory until the choose re-sentences you.
