The Washington State Bar Association journal, NW Lawyer, includes this first-hand account of a Seattle prosecutor’s meth addiction, which led to his conviction and disbarment. He completed rehab, spent time in the Washington state prison system, and eventually, was reinstated to the bar.  He still practices law, and works as a recovery coach for meth-addicted lawyers around the country.

It’s a chilling story that will give you insight into writing about drug-addicted characters, particularly lawyers, and may give you character ideas.
