With no humor intended at all: stop driving after drinking. A third DUI in ten years calls for mandatory jail, and many DA?s will demand just that. Sounds like you have at least that many now, and at least one outstanding arrest warrant on one of them. Fixing this, you are facing serious jail time on two different cases. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. You already found an attorney, follow his advice.

What do I do if I am facing a 3rd offense DUI?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Peacock Law Group of the Lowcountry, LLC
In South Carolina, based on the information you have presented, it is possible that you have been charged incorrectly and also that you may have a case for reduction and/or dismissal. Law Enforcement personnel, just like all of the rest of us, are not perfect and do make mistakes from time to time. There are some attorneys out there that will work with you as far as the amount of a retainer goes. It doesn't hurt to ask around. I do hereby clearly advise against any reliance on this information as advice or the application of it to a specific situation without a more thorough consultation with counsel.

Um, you should try to post this in Michigan forum. You need to talk to your lawyer about the situation, you should also seek outside counsel. But, you should be prepared to explain why you pass random testing but can't pass the requirements of the bond. In California you would likely be given time to put your affairs in order before being jailed, at the very least. You should definitely seek counsel, public or otherwise, jail on a first offense seems harsh.
