No offense intended, but DUH. Unless you ?beat? the case by winning at trial or get it dismissed entirely, you face potential jail, plus substantial fines and a whole range of other penalties. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, n timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help fight this and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses there may be.

How long should my license be suspended for a refusal to blow (breathalyzer)?

It does not matter your criminal history you have to win the refusal hearing or you will lose your license for at least 1 year. So spend the money on an attorney at the refusal hearing.

How will I get my license back and will there be jail time if I get arrested for DUI?

You must clear up the FTA first, once that is done you can work on license issues pertaining to DUI charge. If BAC is over .08% or more and you do not have an attorney or request a DMV Hearing within 10 days, they will likely suspend your license on the 31st day after your arrest on suspicion of DUI. They will suspend for four months. Depending on your BAC and if found guilty in Court, DMV will add 2-6 months to the total suspension time on your license. If you have a clean driving record you should be eligible for a restricted license after 30 days hard suspension if certain conditions are met.
