Can I possibly somehow avoid doing jail time on a third offense DUI?

In the State of Nevada, a third offense DUI within a seven year period is a felony with a penalty from 1 year to 3 years State Prison. In 2007 however, the legislature passed a law allowing such offenders who enter a guilty plea to apply for a sentencing diversion which entails completion of a 3 year alcohol counseling program, 6 months house arrest, and installation of an interlock device for a period of 1 year. Upon successful completion, a person would be sentenced to a second DUI misdemeanor offense. If the person is convicted of a fourth DUI at any time in their lifetime, it would be considered a second felony DUI which is punishable by a minimum 2 years to a maximum 15 years in State Prison.

It not likely on a third offense that you will avoid jail.

Yes, it is possible.

No it carries AT LEAST 30 days and you can go to prison for several years.

This question has a lot of variables. Typically a third offense in MI has a mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail. However there may be ways around this depending on your record/incident and circumstance.

There is a minimum of 120 days in jail. Unless you can get ordered to a live in program as a condition of bail there is no way to get around the code section.

CAN you? Sure. WILL you? That depends on your attorney getting a plea bargain from the DA and court on those terms. Third offense is supposed to carry mandatory jail, among other penalties. The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, BA, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, etc. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential time and other penalties you face. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

The quick and easy answer is: probably not. But, you need the guidance of a criminal lawyer because this is now your third offense for DUI.

Some counties have DUI court, where diversion is an option. But in most counties the answer is no, you WILL be doing some jail time if you are convicted of a DUI. Try calling a DUI specialist to see what can be done about the DUI. If it gets even a slight reduction, then jail is not mandatory.

No. MI statute requires a minimum one year jail sentence following a DUI 3rd conviction.

Only by being found not guilty.

It is very difficult to avoid jail on a 3rd offense. If you are convicted or plea to the 3rd offense, the statute REQUIRES jail time. Unless you are acquitted or your lawyer can negotiate a plea to a lesser charge, you will have to do some jail time.

NO. With a third conviction you are looking at a minimum of 120 days mandatory.

Only if you do not get convicted. 3rd offense is a minimum of 62.5 days in jail. However, you can be sentenced as follows: *3rd DUI or qualifying offense within 10 years* The Utah Driver License Division and the Utah Courts will impose sanctions on a person for being arrested and convicted of driving under the influence.

Yes through a house arrest program

Alabama law requires a minimum of 60 days in jail for the 3rd DUI conviction in 5 years. This is mandatory, not judge's discretion. Get a lawyer.

In Utah, if convicted of a third DUI within a 10 year period, it becomes a third degree felony with a maximum possible penalty of 0-5 years in the Utah State Prison, and carries a MANDATORY minimum sentence of 62 and a half days in jail. The only way to avoid the 62.5 days is to not be convicted.

If found innocent.

Highly doubtful. The only way is to get the prosecutor to agree to let you do drug court. A third DUI has a mandatory minimum amount of jail.
