More details to this question:
system. Officer did not want to see the court order. The court that issued the order then issued a show cause and when I went to the hearing, the judge revoked the order because I did not let ASAP know about it. (was not required to since it did not involve drugs or alcohol) I told the judge I did not have the money to hire a lawyer (I was give only 11 days from receiving the order and the date of the hearing.) He said he did not care. I now have a lawyer and paid him $5,000 to represent me. Can I sue after this to recoup this money?

You can certainly file suit to recoup legal fees for fighting to get your license straight, however it is unlikely that you will win. You need to speak to a civil litigation attorney about this.
