Man, you guys get up in arms over silly shit…

Kevin, glad you got off. Sounds like you were pretty lucky in this case, but hey, if you got the time to fight it, then go for it…

Last ticket I got, I just called my lawyer. He went to court for me. No school, no points, reduced to a $75 parking fine. Paid him $200 for his time. Yeah, it’s some upfront money, but I literally had to do nothing…with as much as I’m in and out of town, there’s a value there for me…

I’m pretty sure there’s officially no such thing as a fix it ticket and it’s just at the discretion of the DA and the judge. Sounds like he got off because he got his inspection done and was a decent person in court.

If this is for the ticket I think it was for… I completely understand why. And for your case, it sounds you have a reasonable price on a lawyer too.

Much appreciated… interweb is the place to judge people though. lol

I’m lost. Was the first comment sarcastic or did you change your answer? Not trying to call you out, just not sure which you are standing by.

i would like to acknowledge that your grammar and spelling in the original post exceeded my expectations based on other recent posts you have made. it was a pleasant surprise, thank you.

also, fighting tickets is cool. doesnt matter what kind of ticket.

with reference to fighting moving violations in NY… how do you guys fight speeding tickets that you legitimately do not deserve? like no radar was taken and speed was overstated?
