Legal Question in DUI Law in Wisconsin

Once you are convicted of 2nd offense OWI in WI, the odds of your going to jail are 100%, since the law requires a minimum sentence of five or ten days and a maximum of six months in most minor cases. The presumptive sentences are in the middle of this range and, even with good treatment compliance, your likelihood of getting the judge to accept it and give you the lower range sentence which you deserve are slim without an attorney to create the proper record to document that fact. Your sentence in Racine county, for example, depending upon which Judge you have, might therefore still place you somewhere within a 60 day range.
