I Need a Good Speeding Ticket Attorney

fair enough.



So, instead of "beating" a ticket, one can do the responsible thing and take a class for refreshing your driving skills and knowledge. Hmmm....sounds like just the ticket! :wave:

I get it.

You think I am less of a man for not just paying it rather than seeking out an attorney and trying to reduce it to a lesser offense (which has served me well in the past)...

You think I am more responsible if I sit in a class for 4 hours rather than try to "beat" it...


So anyway, back to my question-
do you know of a good attorney?

:lol:

:wave:

You do the crime you pay the fine. :wave: Pay an attorney or pay for a class. I get that you are trying to keep your record/points clean. I suggest you slow down. ;-)
FYI...I am married to an attorney*, but I am very touchy about abuses of the system. Not saying you are abusing the system, I just don't think the system is right. Sorry Geo...I have issues. 😀 Good luck.

*...he is good, but he is in Texas and doesn't practice law with good stories. Darn it. :cool:

I am sitting here amazed that we have one of the best judicial systems in the world and you are catching flak for using it. Good luck with your search for an attorney.

Geo - sorry to hear about your luck today. I do not know of any good traffic attorneys. But for what it is worth, last year I got a speeding ticket and a ticket for not having my seat belt on(stupid, I know) and I took the course and didn't have any points put on my license nor did my insurance go up. I can understand you wanting to fight it with an attorney, but I think in the long run it would be better just to take the driving course.:idontno:

Geo, just take the class. How much it will reduce your fine depends on how much over the posted speed you were going, but that is not the point of taking the school. Since you now have two, points may still apply for one, but not both. You can take the school online; there are several to pick from. Just don't forget to turn your certificate of completion in to the Clerk of Court's office when you are done.

It is your legal right to contest a ticket. Again, you now have two. Do be advised that the officer(s) will be there, your court hearing will be in DeFuniak, and it will not be at your convenience.

The voice of reason.

True dat.

Right now I am leaning toward getting the Insurance thrown out and either just paying the fine on the speeding or taking the class...

If you plan on fighting this speeding ticket, keep in mind you'll be sharing the courtroom with "Officer Friendly."

Your best defense is to:

(1) admit that you misinterpreted the officer's signal at the school;

(2) admit you indeed were wrong to speed in the School Zone;

(3) rattle off a few reasons why this is unacceptable;

(4) state you never did this before and you'll never do it again in the future;

(5) offer a sincere apology to Officer Friendly for your being such an AH and state you understand he was only doing his job (make sure you look back at Officer Friendly for added effect);

(6) request the judge to please consider dropping the fine, but if doesn't, say you understand.

If you can't do that with all sincerity--you'll be better off just paying the fine or taking the class.

I'm good for 5 out of 6...

Then pay the ticket or take the class...you'll lose.

Pay the ticket dog

Then pay the ticket or take the class...you'll lose.

Right now that is what I am leaning toward doing. Not because I am convinced that I will lose (and not that I think I would be successful in getting it dismissed in court)...

Mainly based on the fact that I am thinking more and more that trying to get it reduced (or even successfully doing so) might not be worth my time...

We'll see. I have some time to decide.

I enjoyed the thread...

thanks all!!!!
