What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
Hi, I recently got pulled over for doing 64 in a 20mph school zone. I went to my court date today and the judge read off that it was a 4th degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a suspended license. I cant lose my license or possibly risk 30 days in jail since I would without a doubt lose my job missing 30 days in a row unexcused. I didn't know what to do so I plead no contest because it sounded a lot worse than I thought it was at the time. Now that I have plead no contest what do I do now. Is it worth hiring a lawyer for? What is a common punishment for something like this?
