In Montgomery County 3 months is common but you need to discuss this at length with a local lawyer.

It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. First of all, since we do not have all the facts, as to why he was on probation to begin with, it is not really possible to answer with complete accuracy. Besides the DUI, he may also have a probation violation which can add additional jail time to his sentence. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your fiance's situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise you of his options.

This would depend on what he is on probation for.

It might help him to beat the DUI charge. He needs to hire a DUI specialist.
