If the charges are misdemeanors, the statue is 2 years, if it is a felony, then the statue is 4. Don't try and reason with the DA. They ARE NOT on your side!!!!! Get a criminal defense attorney who knows what they are doing to try and negociate a good plea. If I can help you further, please let me know. I practice in the entire state of Ga.
