What should be done about a second underage drinking charge in dane county, WI?

First, make note of when your court date is. If it's rapidly approaching, make sure you enter a not guilty plea. If you have some time, then contact an attorney. Typically, people are only offered a reduced fine in exchange for taking an alcohol course once. However, with the right negotiations, an attorney may be able to convince the prosecutor to give you a second opportunity.

Get a lawyer, since this one will probably cost you your license, and is nearly certain to effect your auto insurance rates for years to come after you get your license back, since these convictions are reported on your driving record. Then get back into detox, in addition to attending daily AA meetings. Two of these in such quick succession indicate that you may have a serious drinking problem which will only get worse until you do something about it. You probably need to commit to total sobriety for life. If any answer is especially helpful for you, feel free to select the best answer option to recognize the lawyer’s free of charge efforts here. Also, answering this question does not make me your lawyer, and I would normally not do anything else on your case without additional arrangements, although you can ask for clarifications here or also see my past answers to similar questions at http://www.attorneyqna.com/attorneys/53401-wi-jay-nixon-1529181/answers.html?sort=recency.
