Where can I go to get answers regarding obtaining a conditional license after getting a DUI?
I was recently arrested for a DWI, and I’m trying to figure out how to apply for a conditional license so that I can go through the substance abuse assessment and take alcohol counseling classes. I have contacted the DMV, the Sheriff’s Department, and the Clerk of Court, and keep being sent in circles with no answers to what I need to do. Apparently, after 10 days of arrest, I am allowed to apply for this conditional license but my true goal is to take the assessment and counseling in hopes it will appear better to a judge.

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance but have not been convicted of the charge or plead out to it but want to know how to get a conditional driver's license the best way to get answers to your question of obtaining a conditional driver's license would be through a court order with respect to your arrest.
The court would be able to set a decree allowing you a conditional driver's license or not. Most states automatically suspend a person's driver's license upon an arrest for the offense that you received.
Given the charge against you is a serious one, I recommend that you retain a criminal defense attorney to assist you.
Good luck.
