Time limit on taking me to court for a DUI if I bonded out and was arrested for something else and THEN remained in custody.

I was arrested for misdemeanor DUI. I bonded out. I was arrested before my arraignment for separate felonies. I was in jail for two years before I took a plea on the felony. I never attended ANY court proceeding related to the DUI and the DUI was NEVER mentioned or on any paperwork. I plead guilty to the DUI at the felony plea. Would I have grounds to appeal the DUI plea on the grounds of ineffective counsel because he said there was nothing that could be done? MY research is showing they went over many many times limits, but I am no lawyer and would like the opinion of one because I am sure it is not as simple as I believe it is-or else everyone would be lawyers.

There is absolutely no way a responsible lawyer will give you an opinion on a case without first looking at all the records and evidence. Since most DUI lawyers give free consultations, call a local DUI lawyer and set up a meeting.

The time limits usually apply to 1) time from offense when they have to bring the charge, and you were charged so that one wouldn't apply; or 2) time they have to bring you to trial if you are incarcerated FOR THAT OFFENSE, which you weren't. So, you're probably reading into it what you want it to say instead of what it really means. You can look around for a local attorney who handles malpractice claims against lawyers or "habeas" proceedings to be sure.
