Dennis Melowski is the only seven-time recipient of a Wisconsin Super Lawyer award by Law & Politics and Milwaukee Magazine for DUI defense from 2005 to 2011. He takes seriously the consequences of a third DUI offense. A conviction for a third DUI results in mandatory jail time of 45 days to one year; license revocation of two to three years; thousands of dollars in fines; mandatory ignition interlock device; and alcohol counseling. Your breath or blood test result effects the fine as follows:
- Fines double at .17 - .199 (up to $4,000)
- Fines triple at .20 - .249 (up to $6,000)
- Fines quadruple at .25 and above (up to $8,000)
Most importantly, after a third offense conviction, you will be taken into custody immediately to begin serving your jail sentence. Therefore, success of a DUI lawyer is the only measuring stick in determining the best representation for your third DUI. Different attorneys take different approaches in their practice of this complex area of criminal defense. Most are quick to plead guilty and move on to their next case. They claim success in negotiating meaningless or trivial concessions from the prosecutor. Yet, the DUI conviction remains on your record for life.
