I had a friend that got one last yr. He was issued a hardship license until his court date and then he was determined guilty and his license was suspended for the period of 1 yr. It cost him around 13000$ with lawyer fees and court fees and was terrible yr for him but with a restricted license that only allowed him to drive between 5 a.m and midnight from work to home and grocery store made life a little tolerable for him.It's a long process just make sure get yourself a state id and don't screw up that 1 yr because it will ruin your driving record forever and will get some madatory jail time like 45 days. Good luck and make sure you have a good lawyer that knows the state attorney real well since they can work some deals outside the court. If they can reach some kind of deal without going to the judge for a decision that would be best, just remember it's a long drwan process and could get very frustrating but the positive thing is your 1 yr starts from the time you got your dui not the conviction date.
