My apologies, but the law usually suspends a license for minors by suspending their driving license for one year. I had a client with the same problem and they had to use the bus for one year to go to work. In my opinion, you should seek a DUI attorney in your area but in my opinion, they probably can't supersede the legislation I gave you above. But if you want to try, a DUI attorney in your area is your "best" bet. Sorry about the bad news. See, the DMV can suspend your license on their own accord, even without a judges input. The DMV have their own set of standards and it is unlikely a judge can tell the DMV what to do unless he completely throws out the conviction.
