He has to be convicted first. Call a qualified DUI attorney.

He's probably looking at felony charges. He's presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He has a right to counsel. If convicted of a felony charge, the court will look at his guideline scores and determine the appropriate sentence. People with bad criminal histories or other factors, though, may score high enough that they could be looking at prison if convicted. It all depends on the alleged circumstances. Additionally, he is looking at additional license sanctions from Department of State as well. He should either request a court-appointed lawyer or retain a lawyer.

In Wisconsin a third offense OWI carries mandatory jail time. The length of his sentence will depend on the blood alcohol content that was measured and the severity of his impaired driving. He can shorten the jail time by enrolling in a treatment program which he might benefit from for other reasons as well He needs a lawyer experienced in drunk driving defense. Good Luck. `
