    Thumbs down MIP in Georgia

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia

    I recieved a MIP in April in Georgia via Admission (not really, but somehow the cop construed my words so that it looked like I did). I was never arrested, or given a breathalyzer.

    I went to court the date it said, etc. and before I even went before the judge, he was explaining all the cases in general and said that if the number on your ticket started with a "16" that you could not proceed without hiring an attorney. When he said this I was very confused because I have had some friends who also got MIP's and they got off with a fine and community service.

    I then hired a lwayer (cost me $2500), and now I am doing a DUI risk reduction class, Alcohol/Substance Evaluation, and community service.

    For some reason I feel like I am being cheated VERY badly on this case.

    I apologize, I got so carried away in posting that I forgot to pose my question.

    Am I being cheated in this matter? Would it have been better for me to hire a cheaper lawyer and do all the stuff the more expensive one told me to do? I'm just trying to figure out if I f'd myself here.
