Why you need to hire an attorney for a traffic ticket.
Most people who represent
themselves in traffic court fall flat on their faces and lose "big
time." Or, they waste hours of time for little benefit.
(like the poor sap who traveled from Maine to Hoboken N.J. to fight a parking
ticket.) I see it every day and it saddens me. No offense to
anyone, but quite simply, the average person has no clue about how the
system works. People accept plea bargains which carry points.
People negotiate with the wrong people!
Or, if someone is foolish enough to have a trial, they try to beat the cops with "clever
questioning." Or, even more pathetic, people say, "there is
no way that I was going 90..." Against the polished testimony of
a cop, this kind of court room antics leads to a
guaranteed conviction. Remember, the cops are almost always
believed in court. Those cops are in that court every day and they are on a
first name basis with the court staff. When the cop walks in and the
clerk says, "Hey Bobby, where yah eating lunch today?" then it is
time to pack up and go home.
While we are on the topic, save your $14.95 and don't buy those tempting
"Beat your Speeding ticket" pamphlets available on the web. If you do order the pamphlet, make sure to order some mustard too, because
mustard goes well with bologna.
Hire me and get a lawyer who knows the system.
