I have no special insight but believe the federal DOT takes more interest in CDL licensing than a license for an ordinary citizen. To fully answer your question it should be directed to the Federal Department of Transportation in Washington.

Start by contacting your lawyer in writing asking for a refund of fees paid and explaining your reasons. Give the lawyer a reasonable amount of time to respond, and if no response, then contact the Florida Bar to file a complaint against the lawyer.

Can this DUI be dropped from her record? Would she have to name names ? Is there any legal precedence? Is the DUI actually hidden?

A DUI cannot be expunged from your record and will stay on your permanent criminal record for ever. Unfortunately the reason for driving is not an element of the charge. The charge of DUI involves (1) driving on the roads of this state (2) consumed alcohol or controlled substances (3) normal faculties impaired or BAC >.08.  The reason for driving is not an element of the charge, nor is it a defense. If your friend was being harassed, she could have called the police, a taxi, or a friend to pick her up.  While the above may not be what you wanted to hear, it is the law. I believe in telling it like it is.
