If you mean you plead to a wet reckless in court on one charge, then got a new DUI arrest the next day, then you go handle the new charge yourself or hire an attorney to help you. You also now face a probation violation on the first charge, with likelihood of the judge revoking probation on the first charge. Your attorney will attempt to have the first court re-impose probation, but it would likely only be done with some additional fines and penalties, maybe with some time in jail. The DA on the new DUI will seek to have enhanced penalties imposed because it is a 2nd offense.

You should retain counsel. With 2 DUIs in 2 days, you are potentially facing severe penalties. Assuming you plead under a plea deal, the district attorney may agree to reduce or drop one of the charges. On the other hand, both the DA and the court may perceive you as a danger to the public and be tough on you. Although they can't get you for a prior because you were not yet convicted on the first, they can make sure you receive stiff fines, interlock, or a number of other penalties.

Have you been convicted of the wet reckless? That will determine the options you have. I need you to contact me to supply more information on the incidents.
