How do I avoid jail time for second DUI?

You need to talk to a lawyer to see if you can beat the charge or work something out. Not easy as jail is 'mandatory' for a second DUI.

Any conviction can result in deportation of aliens, at the discretion of INS. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does.

If they do not file by 3/3/13, assuming a misdemeanor, they cannot file ever. It could only be a felony if injury to another person or you have 3 or more priors. Then they would have to 3/3/15 to file.
