Yes. There are many trafic attorneys out there that are willing to help you fight and beat your speeding ticket. They also usually offer a free consultation.
You have to decide what is at stake concerning the ticket. Will your insurance go up? Were you falsy ticketed? Will you lose your license? Basically you must weigh the cost of the ticket over the cost of the attorney.
Totally up to you. If you were speeding, pay it. If you want to fight it, do so. However, if you wish to keep your record clean a day at traffic school (with additional fee of course) will keep the ticket off your record.
Only the particular court can tell you the amount of the fine. If it is classified as a serious ticket, more than 15 mph over the limit, then it will pay you to retain an attorney and fight the ticket.
I think you should pay fine and attend traffic school.
You can probably fight it on that basis ("Your Honor, I was wearing a seat belt when I was pulled over" if that's what they accidentally put down), but the court may not really care if you were written up clearly and the officer appears. It depends on a lot of factors, but the wrong statute argument might help you. Maybe talk to an attorney? (I tried talking to my attorney for one speeding ticket, he suggested an approach to take but recommended he not appear for me - can give an impression of wrong-doing!)
they won't be mad about 1 traffic ticket If you only have one ticket you can just pay it....just that easy...or fight it and wait until you are found not responsible or responsible and go from there. One ticket is not a huge deal.
It can help to get a lawyer.
Yes. At least to the traffic division. Then it's up to you to go in and pay for it. At that time you can request to have it sent to the court division for a hearing, if you wish to fight it, or you can get an extension.
One may want to consult a lawyer if they receive a speeding ticket as it can result in demerit points and higher insurance rates. One could use the services of X-Copper or look in the yellow pages of the phone book to find lawyers who specialize in traffic violations.
In some states, an off duty police officer can write a speeding ticket. It will depend on the laws in your specific state. You can always go to court to fight the ticket.
Maybe. Some states assess "points" from the offending driver's license, which will increase the incentive to fight the ticket. There are great defenses to ticket camera red light tickets, including the lack of proper engineering. For more info on these defenses (and a traffic attorney listing), I suggest www.motorists.org (The National Motorists Association). A great deal of the info on the website is free, including the attorney referral. P.S. To increase your morale, I will add that I have successfully defended a photo speeding ticket--defense of camera tickets is possible!
Yes you can. You can fight any ticket regardless of method of issue. Just make sure you have a solid case against for whatever ticket it is you want to fight.
