It looks like your problem is both the OWI convictions AND the absconding. I think very substantial incarceration is likely. Just how much depends on the specific facts of the offense, and your own history. The penalties on these things have gotten harsher, but you would be sentenced under the laws in effect when you committed the offenses. I strongly recommend your hiring a good lawyer. He or she can sometimes make arguments which persuade the judge to be more lenient. Good Luck.
