If convicted of a 3rd offense (or 4th offense) DWI, then you will go to prison. In the instance case, if on either arrest, if the predicate DWI convictions exist, and you are found guilty to a 3rd (or 4th) offense DWI, then you will been sentenced to a period of incarceration. Because of the seriousness of the arrests, it is best to hire an attorney to review the previous DWI convictions as well as the present charges to determine if it is legally correct to charge you with a 3rd (or 4th) offense DWI at this time.

Get into residential treatment right away! You have a serious problem. If you are addressing it ahead of time then this will lower the chances of you just going to prison,

You should hire a DUI specialist to handle both cases. If maneuvered properly, you can set up both on the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, so it looks like one incident. And remember you have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing to minimize the damage on your license.

Very good chance of protracted jail time or prison. Get and attorney, stop drinking, get into AA or other treatment NOW.

Prison is a good possibility. 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 arrests. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your cases and advise you of your options. If you cannot afford an attorney, ask the judge to appoint the public defender's office to represent you.
