It really is not fair that only a small, and rich, percentage of the population are able to pay for proper legal guidance.
The good news is that most speeding tickets do not require a lawyer, and with the right information and preparation, you can fight most of your tickets by yourself.
There are, on the other hand, a few cases that a speeding ticket defendant should seek the services of a good and qualified lawyer.
Here are a few examples of cases that you are going to want to get yourself a lawyer...
• If you went zipping through a school zone endangering all of the cute and sweet children- get a lawyer.
• If you were accused of driving while drunk or high- get a lawyer.
• If you are being accused of hit and run driving- get a lawyer.
• If you are being accused of using your car to commit a crime- get a lawyer.
• And if you where driving on a suspended license get a lawyer.
As a rule of thumb, if you are being accused of a real criminal offense, as appear above, you will probably want to treat your court case more seriously.
After all, for many of these offenses a defendant could very possibly end up in jail.
For those really serious cases it's a good idea to leave it to the pros, but if you are like most speeding ticket defenders you may choose the cheaper and often effective option to fight your speeding ticket on your own.
Til next time, drive safe.
