Mooby Needs Legal Advice

Here's what Id do, for what its worth. Id go down to the courthouse and ask a few people who lawyer wise handles alot of traffic tix offenses. The key to this is to get the right lawyer who has a good relationship with the assistant DA. Its not what you know, its who you know. I know for a fact that attorneys who appear in court with the assistant DA are more willing to cut those guys a better deal from time to time. After you get a name or two, go talk to them and retain them. If it were me, Id get your case continued a time or two, for 2 reasons: First, it allows your attorney to work on the DA a little longer, and Second, the trooper may forget about the court appearance after its been bumped a time or two, then you'll get it dismissed if he fails to appear in court. Good luck.

I hate to sound like I don't care, but you WERE speeding, so if you're breaking the law, you just have to be a responsible man and pay the consequences for your decision.

The same goes with the friend. If you think she needed an ambulance to be saved, you should send one there and let her deal with any legal consequences from her own choices.

You should try to make her go to rehab...



sorry, my friend was just telling me about VirginFest this past weekend.

1) For instance, when I was in court for contributing to the delinquency of a minor (which I beat, they drank my booze when I was 19; I didn't have sex with a 12 year old...)Yeah right ;)

THAT is a lot of scratch for a DAMN speeding ticket, (albeit a good one). Consult with an attorney, or three.
You can get a consult for $00.00. If they do not do a free consult, say goodbye.
Ask what they would anticipate you having to pay for them to defend this case successfully. Ask them what your chances are?
Ask any questions you might have. They work for you. Ask about payment plan. If it makes sense, and you get a good feeling about one, go with that one. As has already been mentioned, it will cost a similar amount to defend, but without the DL (points) problems, and insurance problems($$$$), if successful.
I have been down this road way to many times. It sucks.
The long and short of IT is, if the worst happens, you have to pay$$. The state WILL make adequate arrangements for you to pay. It's all about the $$$$
GOOD LUCK!!
Get your friend in rehab, or to a counselor. Addiction, or depression. Either way, she needs some help..........quick

Not to pile on but with only having your lic. for a month is going to hurt you and not help as they are tougher on young drivers with tickets like the one you have received. If you are convicted that will only be the start of issues to come. I'm assuming you live with your parents and drive under their insurance. This is going to be an issue with their ins. co as it is a major violation and you are under their policy. Its a good chance that their ins co. could cancel their ins. because of this and as long as you live in their household it could effect their rates. I'd get a good Atty. and good luck.

LOL @ OD on pot?! :doh:

Did anyone else see that story on that cop a while back that called 911 claiming to be OD'ing after eating pot brownies?? Freaking hilarious.
