Yes, it will be a second and you will get revoked for at least a year, but likely longer. Get an attorney on board ASAP.

It is certainly possible in the theoretical sense. However, it is not very likely. Probation is the usual sentence from the vast majority of judges for first offense DUI. However, do not plead guilty to anything without first consulting with an experience DUI attorney in your area. There may be deficiencies or defenses that can be used to get the charges reduced or dismissed.

What happens after being convicted?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Cindy Mannon, Attorney at Law
It depends on the Judge. Probation along with AA will probably happen. You could be forced to attend out patient counseling, which is about 3 hours a session for several months. Your license to drive is suspended for 45 days, then you can drive with an interlock device in your auto, at your expense, however, only to work, school, probation, treatment AA. No going shopping or to the grocery store, unless you go to perhaps a Meijer to get gas, leave your car by the gas station and walk over to Meijer. You won't be able to drink while on probation, or take any illegal drugs. If you have a medical marijuana card, some Judges may allow you to continue your medication, others do not.
