Yes if he gets convicted then he could be violated on the probation and go back to jail.

Depends on the terms of his probation, if they were violated which is most likely, a high probability.

He needs to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because he has only 10 days to save his license.

If convicted at trial or if he pleads guilty before then, then it is likely he is going to go to jail on either the DUI case or his current case that he is on probation for. Not breaking any laws is a condition of probation and no judge will look at that favorably. They could revoke his probation and resentence him up to the maximum amount for that offense. This is very serious and he needs to make sure he is being represented by a very skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney in his area.

Anything is possible but it is the Judge's decision as to any jail time if he is convicted.

Jail time is always a possibility especially with a probation violation and new criminal charges.
