Q: Got two speeding tickets within 13 days of each other. What can I do?
My first ticket was 75 mph in a 55mph and my second was 85mph in a 55mph. I know that I wasn’t going that fast but I’m not going to try and argue that with a cop and judge. I have a meeting with an attorney Tuesday but it’s driving me crazy. Will he be able to do anything? Can I take a class and be on a deferment for both tickets?
A: Yes, your attorney should be able to negotiate a resolution on both cases that will be better than if you paid each ticket or lost at a trial. What the ultimate resolution will be is going to be dependent on your record and other factors. You have made the right decision by hiring an attorney.
