need advice(horrible story)

You’re not the personification of injustice.

You made somewhat of a mistake, driving while drunk (if I understand the implication of “never denied”). I’ve done this too, and many people have, perhaps most. Police used to be pretty lenient about it, knowing that all of us do it from time to time, until trends changed.

You got very unlucky, causing an accident that was somewhat nasty. I was never that unlucky, though I did hit a bank once and bend up the front of my car a bit. It’s hard to excuse ourselves for these things, but they are unlucky. Most times people drive drunk, no accidents happen. I think you’re guilty of a mistake most of us made, and unluckier than most with the outcome.

The world needs justice and it needs good lawyers. It is excellent that you want to accomplish good with your life. Please become a good lawyer, a skillful and ethical one, for the sake of the people you could help.

By the way, for whatever it’s worth, month after next is the 20 year anniversary of my last drink. That stuff is insidious, it traps people, and all of us would be better off if it never existed - IMHO.
