Q: My boyfriend got caught going 120 in a 70, he is getting sent to court if he does not hire a lawyer what will happen?
He did not get his car taken or anything like that, he did not get a ticket on the spot, just a court date.
A: What will happen depends on what choices your boyfriend makes. If he continues to make incredibly bad choices such as driving 120/70 - bad things are likely to happen. So what he likely ought to choose is to consult with a traffic attorney ASAP. Typically at that speed, he will also be charged with other crimes such as Careless & Reckless Driving. If convicted, he is looking at possibilities such as license suspension, outrageous insurance increase, fines and / or jail time. Best of luck.
