There is always hope;
Behind hope is a competent lawyer, a cooperative DA, a considerate judge, and good facts and history.

Re: 3rd offense
You never know with OUIs. They have to prove that this is a 3rd offense, they cannot simply state that it is. Your lawyer can have a separate trial on the issue of the subsequent offense and the DA has to provie it with admissible evidence. I assume you have hired an OUI specialist who would know this. Good luck!
