Speeding ticket going 110 and declared guilty~! anything left to do?*california*

My brother got a speeding ticket, but i dunno why he declared himself guilty without fighting it?
I guess that he didn't know that the penalty would be around 2000$.
So, i am asking is there a way that a lawyer could fight this ticket? even though he already declared himself guilty? can he changed this?
can a lawyer opssibly fight it?... suggestions of good lawyers for traffic are also acceted =P
he doesn't have the money, so he asked for community service hrs, ~! they are giving him 267HRS!!!.. sigh, i feel sad for him
any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Wow for that speed I'm surprised he didn't get any jailtime... But I'm in VA and they pound people here for speeding.

I don't know the answer to your question but I know how to find out. Open the phone book and call some lawyers. Talk to at least 3, then sleep on it before you hire one.

Oh, and your brother should be doing the calling, not you.

-There is nothing he can do, he pled guilty to the charge. Had he pled "not giulty" and then found guilty by the court he might have had recourse, but this did not happen.

Why do you feel sad for him? He did it and is being a man about it and accepting the consequences of his actions. I personally applaud his actions for taking responsibility, unlike some people on this post that will try to find ways to circumvent the law or tell you to read a book in the library about how to get out of a ticket.

Let him do the community service. He made a mistake and he will learn from it.

There is nothing manly in going 110 mph, it is irresponsible and he should not have done it in the first place. Nobody on this forum would recommend to fight this ticket. We are not stupid or trying to find way out. All our advice is based on law or personal experience, and not circumventing it.

**A: I don;t feel sad for him at all. Why? Because he's an idiot that chose not to follow the law. Don't be feeling sad for idiots. Clowns maybe, but not idiots.

He is lucky he got community service hours, that is about as good as an attorney could have got him, he was going twice the limit! No defense for that.

VC 22348 (b) over 100 mph: usu MINIMUM is: about $1500 in fines (500 + penalty and assessments) AND a thirty day suspension of the driver's license.

Are you saying the Judge didn't suspend the DL for 30 days ?????
It is the discretion of the Judge, but most definately suspend the DL.
Did that suspension change as of 9/20/05 ?

-Since you must have a problem understanding and have taken what I said out of context I will reiterate it.

I did not say it was "manly" to go 110 mph. What I "said" was that he was being a "man" by accepting responsibility for his actions and not trying to find a way to get out of it.

-Yes there are, Just read a few of the posts on this forum.

That remains to be seen.
