What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
So, I had a ticket in February for 22 over in Kenosha county. I showed up plead no contest ant it was reduced to 11-15 over, 4 pts (out of 12). Not learning my lesson, I received another ticket a few weeks ago in Milwaukee County via Sheriff's department for 11-15 over (it was written for 15 over), $159 and another 4 pts. So here's the dillema:
A couple of law firms sent me fliers about getting the ticket reduced to a parking ticket. I called both of them and basically got the same thing. $100 up front lawyer fee, they show up and get it down to a parking ticket and the ticket would go up to about $250, and be due 60 days from the court date.
Now, I already have the prior ticket from February. Both firms said it still wouldn't be a problem to get it reduced. Is this true? If so, is it worth it? My insurance (Progressive) should still go up, no? Will it go up more from a second ticket? One lawyer said some insurance companies will allow a speeding ticket every few years when you're over 25. I'm not sure if he was just blowing smoke up my butt. How would I find this out?
What do I do? I've slowed down, trust me...
