First, it is possible for the DMV to say that you had a prior DUI that counts for their records, even though the criminal court may have called it a 3rd. If you have a prior from anywhere else, then the DMV will count it. If you have none, then you can challenge their records. I do suggest you either talk to your original attorney, or hire a new one.
