I had a similar thread a couple of months ago and was lazy to update it.
What happened was that I got 5 points ticket because troop said I was 96 out of 65. He lied big time.
I was speeding with 80 mph but anyway..
What I did is I asked a lawyer to help me with because I had other points already. This lawyer asked me 1700 dollars and I said no way..
So I answered one of those flyers mentioned above. Now. I WISH I HADN'T.
This guy,
Moderator cut: don't mention names, this is not a consumer complaint website will send you a flyer saying that hi is limited only to municipal court and has a little fee..So I bit on that. Called the office..
I saw him and a couple of other laywers like him that day. Having 5 clients each. IS all about money.
Anyway, lawyer said that prosecutor brought down the speeding from 96 mph to 85 mph..and that was 2 points. He asked me if I agree and I said...sure 2 points it is what I am looking for...
So we went in to the judge and he asked my lawyer questions related to me or to law. He couldn't answer either..
So I got a nice suspension for 10 days..Needless to say that I was going to nursing school at that time and 2 day absence is a failure and kick out of semester..
I hardly made it through the school because of that and school was 52 miles away from home each way and I had no car..
Anyway, I didn't say anything, took what I was given and left.
What made me mad was that the 15 miles over speed limit wasn't 2 points but 4 and this lawyer who limits his practice on speeding tickets and have 20 years experience, didn't know that..
Long story long..
I called him so we could see prosecutor again ..he said that prosecutor didn't accepted..blah blah blah
Big big big big lies....
Be aware of those lawyers and if you have no present history of speeding , don't even get a lawyer..The prosecutor will understand and grant you for your good record..You will probably end up with 2 points.
This is my opinion though..don't listen to it..
Take care..
