More details to this question:
I was arrested for a DUI and hired a lawyer. The plea deal my lawyer got for me was one year probation, a CASP class, SR insurance, and then I would get my license to drive witha a breathlizer machine in my vehicle for six months. I am now told that I won't get my license back for 10 years. My laywer never gave me that information and now says that they changed the law and she just didn't know it at the time. I wouldn't have taken the deal had I known it would get suspended for 10 years. Is there anything i can do now?

Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do. You could retain a new attorney and attempt to set aside the plea of guilty. That's hard to get done sometimes, depending on the jurisdiction.
