Hey Bud, I was in the same situation over the summer when I got my DUI. Reading that letter was no easy task. I believe you have to wait about 30 days after receiving that letter before you can apply for the hardship license unfortunately. But, it does get easier! Time heals wounds my friend and I know exactly how your feeling. You talked to a lawyer right? They can walk you through the hardship license with no problem. Hope your day is a little brighter tomorrow, please message me if you have any questions regarding the DUI or just need some moral support. I'm here for you.
