Having just come from traffic baby school class, it's 25 over, then no class to wipe it off. 24 over, OK - 25, Not OK.
Throw yourself on the mercy of the court and leave slick ***** at home or defending real criminals. Pay to play....that how it works.

And if he doesn't get him him off???

It ticks me off when people have to use lawyers to bail them out for their own stupidity.

Its your money...right. Pay the ticket or get the attorney and try and get it reduced and pay the attorney and the court....or lose the case and you really get to pay. Usually works the best with the attorney....but again its YOUR money you do what you think is best.

Hey everyone!! I've got the neatest little gizmo on my Corvette. You find it on the left side of the steering wheel. It's called CRUISE CONTROL. If you use it, your lawyer bills are much cheaper!!!
