Legal Answers
Q. Can you reopen a dui misdemeanor case?
A: Only for some specific good cause. Very limited in GA. Low chance of getting a good result. Expensive in terms of legal fees.
Q. 16-14-30 ow much time does one get for this
A: No way to answer this question. Multiple factors control punishment, and these facts are insufficient to guess.

The public defender or private attorney HANDLING the case can provide all of this range of punishment information.
Q. My license was suspended 30 years ago. I never reinstated. Can I get a license now?
A: Until you meet the requirements of THAT state's laws on reinstatement, then NO. Driving is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT.
