resulting in 58 days jail
An attorney's failure to appear for a scheduled court date without prior notice can have consequences, potentially including disciplinary proceedings. In Georgia, the Georgia Public Defender Council (GPDC) ensures public defenders work effectively and ethically according to the Georgia Public Defender Council.

Longest time waiting: over 15 months
