    Default Violation of Informal Probation with suspended sentence

    My driving record is about 7 pages long the last time I saw it. Mostly speeding, careless/wreckless, seatbelt etc. from a few years ago. Last summer I got a OWI, and I was given a suspended sentence of 6 months jail time and put on informal probation. I violated that probation by driving to work. Serving 6 months jail would cause me to lose my employment which provides the primary income for home, insurance for spouse and daughter. I am under going treatment for borderline personality disorder, part of which is self destructive impluses, namely wreckless driving(actually listed as a criteria for the disorder). Is there any way that my sentence could be adjusted, inlight of this information? Do I have an opportunity to bring this into court? It has been about 4 months since the sentencing, have I forfeited the right to appeal?

    Is there anyway to keep my job?!?

    Consider getting the help of a local lawyer, who can help you argue your case to the court and try to convince the court to minimize the consequence of your bad decisions.
