Should I hire a Traffic lawyer?

Question

I live in miami dade and I recieved over a span of 2 months 3 driving with suspended licese citations...Am I better off just paying a lawyer to handle the court cases for me , or should I just go into court representing myself?

Answer 1

if you are fool enough to miss the point after the first ticket you are probably fool enough to fight it still. why waste your money on a lawyer or waste your time fighting it?

Answer 2

I think you SHOULD hire a lawyer, and I'm not saying that because I happen to be a lawyer. You see, if you hire a lawyer, he HAS to show you some good results to justify accepting the money you paid him. He knows that if he doesn't do something that you couldn't have done yourself, he'll look like a thief for taking your money. Therefore, he will BEG the prosecutor for a sweet deal for you. Also, the prosecutor will realize that you have every intent of protecting yourself, and you are not rolling over for anyone. The prosecutor will regard you as too much work for some silly tickets, and let you slide with a good deal.

Answer 3

If you hire an attorney, as ms22note suggests, you're throwing your money away. What is your defense? If all the attorney does is go to the prosecutor and "beg" for a sweet deal, that's hardly worth what it's going to cost you when you're found guilty anyway. What can he ask for? Dismiss 1 count and plead guilty to the other 2 counts? What if the prosecutor says "no deal"? You're going to have to either go to trial (and pay more money to the attorney who is working so hard for you) which brings the attorney back to court with you (which costs you more money), or you plead guilty to it and take what's coming to you. Geez...three times in 2 months? What do you expect?  

Answer 4

sounds like you dont have a defense so why hire a lawyer.  plead guilty and get it over with.  on the other hand why were you pulled over.-it might have been an illegal stop but 3 times i doubt it.
