Don’t waste your money on a lawyer. What’s going to happen is you’re going to plea guilty and apologize and promise not to do it again, the judge may or may not take you over the coals for a bit depending on their mood, and then you will have to pay a small fine, like 100 dollars or something. Whole thing should take like half an hour.

The $100 is nothing, but if it doesn’t get dismissed, will it not show up on OP’s criminal record? Avoiding that would totally be worth a lawyer in my book …

Not to my knowledge, plus something minor this really shouldn’t matter in the long run.

What? No! The OP should DEFINETLY get a lawyer! And remember: You get what you pay for! Don't just hire the ambulance chaser with the lowest hourly. You should be looking for $500/hr+

You’re a fellow lawyer huh?

Nope, but the OP could be facing serious, serious consequences and should exhaust all resources to avoid said consequences!

Agree completely. Can’t risk saying the wrong thing in front of the judge and getting thrown in prison for 20 years.
