Yes, in Southeastern WI, it is rare for second offenders to receive less than ten to 30 days jail time for second offense drunken driving convictions, even in non-aggravated cases. In aggravated cases, they can receive up to six months in jail, although the statutory minimum is only five days in jail. For this reason, if you are facing such a charge, you owe it to yourself to at least have an initial free consultation with an experienced criminal lawyer. These comments are intended solely for public educational purposes and are not legal advice for you. Instead, you need to consult with your own lawyer before making any decisions on what to do next, and be aware that many deadlines for protection of your rights may come and go quickly. You should not delay in obtaining legal advice which is specifically directed towards your particular needs rather than relying upon online forums or blogs.
