Thomasville, GA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

You have the right to refuse under GA implied consent law, which it sounds like you did. You will have 10 days to appeal the suspension of your license. In GA, the refusal suspension is stiff 1 year with no permit at all.

To handle a warrant, you must turn yourself in to the issuing court, with or without an attorney. On misdemeanors like this an attorney can appear in court without the defendant being present, if necessary. You'll try to negotiate a recall of the warrant[s] and bail reduction or OR release. You'll try to negotiate a plea bargain on the Failure to Appear and probation violation that caused the warrant. Effective plea-bargaining, using whatever legal defenses, facts and sympathies there may be, could possibly keep you out of jail, or at least dramatically reduce it, and may enable you to get your probation and programs reinstated. Unless you're competent to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor trying to put you in jail, most people hire an attorney who can.
