In Florida, Uniform Traffic Citations require a signature only for traffic misdemeanor and felony violations. Just because you sign it--and I'm sure this goes into effect for all states--does not constitute admission of guilt; merely an agreement that action will be taken upon the issued citation, whether to pay it, request a hearing, or elect to take traffic school.

I'd say don't waste your money on an attorney. You get the same thing accomplished by representing yourself, and for the effort you'd likely get adjudication withheld (no points assessed) anyway with only court cost to be paid (and partially the citation cost). An attorney usually consults with the issuing Officer and come to an agreement that the case wound not be contested, thus bypassing trial.
