All using a lawyer does is cost you $500 for their time on top of what you can already do for yourself.
It is procedure here that if you show up to plead guilty, the Prosecutor will offer kicking it down one charge.
I just went through this. It was 82 in a 65. That would have been three points.
It got kicked down to failure to yield to a flashing light, which was 2 points and $140 fine.
If I decided to go to trial, it would have been guilty to the greater charge plus $500 which was the maximum fine.
If you use an attorney, put another $500 on top, and they would have gotten the same deal for showing up.
The kid in front of me who was 16, got 109 in a 65 kicked down to a 74 in a 65 and $140, which was the number of the day...and he got a lecture from the Judge.
