Traffic Ticket Attorneys

[Seth]

I got a ticket a couple months back for going 96 in a 70 which once you're going more than 25 over TX doesn't like that so much. I hired an attorney for like $300 and ended up having to pay another $300 in court fees and now if I don't get another ticket by Sept 8th the first one will be dismissed. I didn't have to go to court or deal with anything other than giving the attorney & court some money. Idk what would have happened if I didn't hire an attorney, but I'm happy with the outcome.

I was a NY cop (until I retired 3 years ago). In NY, if you plead not guilty and the cop does not show up, the Judge will usually dismiss the ticket. If LASER was used, have the cop produce his memo book where he tested the LASER at the beginning of his tour. 99.75% do not test the unit. Pro Laser III guns have a self test mode and they won't work if the test fails. If it was RADAR used, ask for the last certification paperwork. Hiring a lawyer will cost you as much as the ticket and fees. BUT....Judges are lawyers and there is a brotherhood amongst them. They will usually cut deals with each other and usually take a few bucks off you for justice sake. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

FL tickets: 26 in 15mph school zone speed trap plus expired registration. Rec'd immediate mailer from trafficticketoffice.com. Charge ~ $79.
Traffic court results:
1. Speeding. Fine reduced to $250 from $319. No points. No traffic school.
2. Expired registration. Dismissed.
I have a clean record

This .com firm was good in this case as the reduced fine, no traffic school, dismissal, etc., more than covered their charge to attend a 5 minute Zoom hearing.
The speeding ticket does show on my record, though no points. Wish I would have asked to withhold adjudication. Probably would have been granted.
(And, the police officer was there with the necessary certificates, etc.)

If you received no points but did have to pay a fine, then you did receive a withhold of adjudication. The judge/magistrate withheld formal conviction, generally after a plea of guilty or no contest.
