In most first offense DWI cases, the practical answer is no. It’s more complicated than that, but the bottom line is that the limited licenses to drive to work are 1) Not available during the administrative license suspension (ALS), which is usually 6 months, and 2) Not available for a person who has a prior DWI conviction, even if was from decades ago, and 3) Not available for an out-of-state resident, and 4) Even for the true first offenders who need to keep their jobs to provide for their families, limited licenses are  only available for 45 days of the typical court-ordered 90 day suspension. And the applicant has to install an ignition interlock on all vehicles registered to the applicant or used by the applicant on a regular basis for a period of one year and 45 days. Who would pay all that money, and endure all that hassle, to be able to drive to and from work for 45 days? In our experience,  no one. However, for a first offender in a serious DWI who gets a suspension of much longer than 90 days, a limited license can be a lifesaver.
