If are looking at a 3rd offense, and you need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

In this case the reduced charge would most likely be Operating While Visibly Impaired. While it is possible to reduce it to a reckless driving, it is not likely. Then again, an attorney would have to see the facts.

It technically can be. State has discretion to reduce a charge. Whether they will largely depends on the evidence in the present case.
