Sounds like justice was served and you got what you deserved.

But, tell us, exactly what is your complaint?

You plead guilty ... you stood up in court and allocuted to the offenses and admitted them ... it is next to impossible to then go back and say you didn't mean it!

Oh, and your license can be suspended for a DUI even without bodily injury. If there was bodily injury, you could have been charged with a felony and gone to prison - consider yourself lucky.

The flip side is that you get the plea dismissed, you go to trial, and you get found guilty and go to prison. Oops!

Oh, and yes, that happens. I know a guy who shot a cop - a friend of mine. he got 15 years and appealed because he wasn't permitted to bring his post-traumatic stress disorder in as a defense. So, he got his retrial ... guilty and a new sentence of 35 to life! oops!

Be careful what you ask for ... you just might get it.
