HA! my lawyer was late... i looked like a dam fool i had a ticket for 15 over.. tired to make my case he walked in half way through all in all i was convicted for 5km over with no fine... well that makes me feel better... not after i paid him 200... i should have taken the misdemeanor for 50$ or what ever...

Sigh....

wow, what a waste of money ... that's like using spring water to bath in. if your lawyer couldn't guarentee the ticket be dropped, what was the point in hiring him? 15 over carries no points and is only a small fine, if you were willing to absorb the ticket, you should have just paid it, or worst yet, gone yourself and plead guilty with an explanation and probably get the same result.

Lawyers can be ******, back in the day my lawyer failed to notify my friend of a court date, the guy didnt even know, that night cops came and took him in, he spent the night in the slammer until the re-schedualed court date the next day

you didnt need a lawyer at all for somthing like that
just say u were doing 15 over and u would get off with no points
another way is to say you were passing a truck

best to only hire a lawyer if you get jammed with a bunch of tickets, especially big ones
