I started ARD 2/16/11. I did community service, paid all fines, took highway safety class. My druga and alcohol evaluation stated that i needed to seek outpatient treament. I received papers from probation shortly after i was accepted into ARD that listed all requirementa to complete on 2/16/12. It indicated that i did get an evaluation and no treatment was needed. I had posted here last year regarding that. I didnt trust it, so i called pribation to confirm, they said all requirements are conpleted all i had to do was waot oit the probation period . After that i called my lawyer to be sure and i was assured that everything is on track.

Fast forward to this year, i receive a paper saying that i need to go to court for removal from ard. It showed that i did not pay all fines or get the treatment. I know the payment was made and it shows on the court website as zero balance. I talked to probatiin after this and they tell me it must have been a mistake before that the paper said no treatment. Of course i am livid because a typo of theirs is going to effect my life in a huge way. I was so careful to do everything exactly as i needed to to move on from this. They did call me back and tell me they have to report the condition met because it was their error, so i can disregard the papers i received from the court. Sigh of relief!

So my question.....
2/16/12 my probation period should be up. Would i receive anything in the maik or anything? I am nervous because i checked the docket sheet and it has posted on 2/9 about the removal from ard hearing. I had all of the discussions with probation on 2/7. I am hoping this is just delayed. Or maybe they have to go through the hearing stikl to show that the condituons were met but i am not involved. Any thoughts?

Such a Relief

I just checked my case docket online and it has been updated to "completed". I finally feel that I have confirmation and closure that my case is closed! Now I can bury the folder of papers/documents and hopefully never have to see them again.

This whole ordeal was a great lesson and has improved my life dramatically, so even though I bury the papers I won't forget it. I paid a lot for this emotionally and fiscally, but in the end I was lucky. This literally felt like i was the end of the world when it happened. Really, it paled in comparison to what could have happened either on that night, or down the road without this.

Sorry, I know there is no legal question in here. I also wanted to say this website has been great through this entire process. Whether I had a question or just read through some posts, it helped along the way.
