For some people, having a clean driving record is vital for maintaining their employment.  You will have to decide if it is worth the cost to hire an attorney versus just paying the ticket.  We charge a flat fee of $650 to handle non-criminal traffic and speeding tickets.  This price does not cover a full trial if you want to challenge your ticket before the court.  Challenging a traffic ticket is usually pretty difficult.  Unless there are very out of the ordinary circumstances, a judge will take the word of the officer over yours and find you guilty.   However we can typically get you a reduced speed or possibly a traffic school diversion where your ticket can get dismissed after you have completed an online traffic school and had a period of time free of new traffic violations.  We certainly cannot promise you anything but we are often able to achieve positive results for our clients.  It depends on all the circumstances including your prior driving record, the facts of the case and the individual officer involved.  Give us a call to discuss your options.
