More details to this question:
First time DUI. I hit a utility pole at 1 am, blew .15 on breathalyzer. I've never been in any trouble of any kind before. This was just an awful set of terrible decisions. I am a stay at home mom with a five year old that I need to drive to school, doctors, appointments, programs.

It is the DMV in Michigan that sets what the suspension will be. Ask them first.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.
