    Default So who knows a good traffic lawyer?

    This weekend when I was driving back from Houston I got nailed with a speeding ticket 89 in a 60, lol whoops. The ticket itself is $296(minus shipping ) which puts me over 25MPH the limit which means no differed or defensive driving. The thing is though, the cop radar'd me while I was passing which I've heard they can't actualy do... So does anyone know a good lawyer that I could use to either A)(best case) get it thrown out or B) get me differed. It was in Dallas County, on I45 North right before the exit for Mars Rd.

    Oh and it's my first ticket if it makes any difference at all.

    I might know a good ticket fixer. Who wrote you the ticket? The City? Highway Patrol?

    A guy I work with who was chief prosecutor in Dallas for a number of years recommends this guy if you're looking to make the ticket disappear and aren't super cost-sensitive.

    9 chances out of 10 you can represent yourself and get the same deal as a lawyer (ie: probation and the ticket doesn't go on your record), but if you think it will cost more money to go to court (missing work) then try James Mallory, if he can't help you he can probably recommend someone who can in your area.
    He has kept my record clean for 21 years :)

    Thanks! Knew I missed something.


    Billy, the only reason I was thinking of a lawyer was mainly due to the fact that I am trying to get it dismissed becuase of the fact that I got radar'd while passing, but as I am an 18yr old college kid with zero proof of that I figured a lawyer was the better way to go

    I wouldn't try to represent myself for 29 over. That's pretty fast. The guy I recommended charges $75 and can likely get you 180 days deferred.

    Be careful with using a traffic lawyer for the Wilmer/Hutchins area. Thats where I got my first ticket also, in june of 2002. Took it to a traffic lawyer & after over a year of waiting for the trial I ended up forgetting about it.

    In january of this year...4 years later I get a note on my parents door stating that a Sherrif stopped by to let me know that I had just been issued a warrant for not showing up in court & non payment. Turns out my case had sat in someones desk for over 3 years before going to court. By this time I had long since moved out & forgot about it.

    In the end it was my fault, but still be warned, they dont move to fast around there...

    Yea theres no kind of radar that can read accurately while the police officer is moving. I had one dismissed like that. I was 18 and self-represented haha, although it was kinda intimidating I figured why the hell not.

    On a side note, thank god that they can't call a pursuit-type speed detection within like 10 or 15mph.
