Basic Speeding Ticket Question

What is the name of your state? New York

Hi,

Last night I was served ticket for speeding. I was 56 in a 35 mph zone.

A)Is it likely that the DA will lower the violation

B)How much on average does a lawyer cost, and how effective would they be in a situation like this?

Thanks.

"A)Is it likely that the DA will lower the violation"
*** No. Prosecutors simply don't go around handing out 'reductions' for the fun of it....

"B)How much on average does a lawyer cost, and how effective would they be in a situation like this?"
*** Depends on the experience and practice of the attorneys considered. Could range anywhere from $25 (for a real hack, without a license) to $25000 (for 'Michael Jacksons' attorney).
