Legal Question in DUI Law in Wisconsin

If the BAC level is high or there were other aggravating factors, the sentence on a 3rd offense DUI/OWI in WI is likely to be much closer to the normal 12 month maximum than to the 30-60 day minimum, if you are convicted. If you are not convicted, you will not serve any time. If you value your freedom, you will therefore hire an experienced criminal lawyer immediately, to either fight conviction or to present your treatment/self help efforts in a favorable light to the sentencing judge. I wish you the best of luck, but would also advise you that the most important thing you can now do is to get your drinking problem under control before it totally ruins your future, since you are facing a felony with nearly certain multi-year prison time for a 4th offense.

Answering this question does not make me your lawyer, and I would normally not do anything else on your case without additional arrangements, although you can ask for clarifications here or also see my past answers to similar questions at http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/53401-wi-jay-nixon-1529181/answers.html?sort=recency.
