Any good traffic ticket lawyers in Central Florida?
 

Does anyone have any experience with traffic ticket lawyers in Central Florida? Any that you can recommend?
I have a speeding ticket for going 9mph over.
I was on the 408 at 10pm, no traffic, just going with the flow... I think these kind of citations are bull ****.

I have gotten speeding tickets before and have had them dismissed by using Ticket Clinic and such, but I'm wondering if anyone else knows anyone better.

How about manning up and taking responsibility for your actions? You were speeding, and you got caught. Get it dismissed by taking defensive driving if you can or pay the fine.

:iagree:

If you're gonna play, be prepared to pay.

Ditto...

True that.

Traffic Court
 

I've been on the jury in these cases. Not much hope to win. It is what it is!
Good luck.

Well thanks a lot guys. Nothing I didn't already know. Ive had all my traffic citations dismissed before, no problem.
Was just wondering if anyone knew anybody good.
Thanks for the support ;)

You are all gonna tell me you don't "speed" on a daily basis? Especially on the highways where pretty much everyone drives 10 mph over?
gtfo

On the rare occasion I actually get to drive my Z I do enjoy a spirited drive. After all that's what all the mods before period but it is for short bursts and under controlled situations. Of course it's only controlled until the red and blue lights come up behind you. But you gotta be responsible for what you do. We have sports cars we draw attention

Good luck to you of course. Tampa/Clearwater might be a good place to look.

LOL :nutswinger:

And to answer your question, no, I don't speed. I accelerate quickly up to the speed limit. However, I have a sports car that's great in the corners, therefor I get my thrills by retaining the posted speed limit in the twisties instead of dropping down to the recommended speeds through those corners.

I do speed -- sometimes accidentally and sometimes purposefully.

I have been pulled over, though it has been a while and it is more than 10 years since my last ticket.

I accept the consequences for my behavior and it saddens me that there are people such as the original poster who do not accept responsibility and try to get out of paying the prices for their behavior. He is an example of one of the many things deeply wrong with our society.

I'm not going to tell you that because it would be a lie. When I get caught, I pay my fine and move on.

Who said that? Just take it like a man and get over it. I've been pulled over for going 69 in a 65 - you're not the only one $hit happens to :rolleyes:

Whaaaaat this generation of drivers being responsible for their own actions .......how dare you suggest that ....that's sooooo funny

U have the right to fight ticket guilty or not. Here in cali u can fight ticket through the mail, if that doesn't work u go to court hoping cop doesn't show most likely he won't cuz it's bein a long time. This does work I've gotten 5 tickets dismissed in the last 6 years

I would suggest you invest in a high quality radar detector and laser jammers. Next thing to do is learn how to use them. These two devices won't fix stupid but they can be very advantageous.

That's what I'm saying! Why would people settle for getting points on their license?
Suddenly I'm stupid and lack testosterone because id rather not get the points.

:iagree:

:rofl2:

Umm... If you pay the fines and take the driving course (and pass of course), you don't get points on your licence. You only get points IF you only pay the fines and NOT take and pass the course.

OR... You can waste your time with all of the court BS and maybe get out of the ticket. Maybe.

Fight the ticket bro by any means necessary don't give up, long process but it's just a traffic ticket

Speeding tickets are just an another form of taxation.

Thank you for being sensible and not resorting to the condescending tone of some of these insecure senile old farts! :stirthepot:

This is true. But I am willing to accept a tax which more heavily penalizes people too stupid to avoid speeding tickets.

I am also willing to accept that insurance rates should penalize people who are too stupid to avoid speeding tickets.

--secure non-senile old fart

:rolleyes:

Calling you out for not taking responsibility = condescending
I'm not guilty for speeding because everyone else is doing it and I don't deserve a traffic ticket attitude = sensible :icon14:

The fact is you were speeding. No one was suggesting that you take it up the a$$ from the local PD. No one was suggesting you take the points on your license. But acknowledging and accepting responsibility and still asking how to fight the ticket would have elicited a far more amenable response in this thread than whining like a little bitch in your OP.

Lol, Triggered.

"Condescending" is a big word for you isn't it?

I am a senile old fart -- that's true -- but also one who can outdo anything you can do, except whine.

You were?

By what? :confused:

**I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Purely based on personal observations and experience. Do whatever the f@ck you wanna do.**

Well, I'll agree with you that 9mph over on the 408 is sketchy. I qualify that with the fact that the 408 East and West from Mercy drive to the Goldenrod exit , 417 from Lee Vista to the Lake Nona exit and 528 from Tradeport to 417 were all my hunting grounds. (I worked traffic for 8 years up till relatively recently and I still run laser for something to do but I resist writing tickets at all cost due to impending retirement )

All that said , our state statute allows for 6mph over the posted limit with a max penalty of a verbal warning. Most traffic guys I know including myself will allow for 10-15mph over the posted limit depending on conditions and flow characteristics. In some cases like South Access Road on the back side of the airport I did'nt consider it "Sporting" to write anything under 30mph over ( You have to see this road to understand because the limit is 35mph and it looks like the Autobahn. )
If you were cited for 9 over what were your circumstances? I mean what exactly happened from the time the officer made contact to the time you realized you were actually getting a ticket? I say that because you could've earned a "Contempt of cop" ticket if he thought you were being a "D" bag. Or if you were rolling with the LaFiebre crew and people were calling in saying a bunch of ricers were buzzing them on the 408. In that case you just paid a time and place tax.
If the stop went neutral to cool. ( You did'nt act like an ***. ) You don't need a lawyer. Just contest the citation and wait for your date. When the date comes show up in court. If you recognize the officer that wrote you ask him if you can speak to him outside the courtroom. (Or if he shows up when you're waiting outside grab him then.) Ask him if he's cool with you pleading no contest and asking for a withold. 99.9% of the time he'll agree with this ( I can only think of two people who would say no and if the guy that wrote you was'nt on a motorcycle then you're good. ) Then when you approach the judge is going to ask you how you plea. You're gonna say "I've spoken with the officer and I would like to plead no contest and ask for witheld adjudication." Then the judge is going to look at the officer and ask him if he's ok with it and he's going to agree. Bam bam court costs, cost of the citation and no points. ( Depending on your record. ) This is exactly what happens when you pay for a traffic lawyer except you don't request the withold , your lawyer does.
Or.............You could just spring the request for the withold on the officer while giving testimony. Here's the problem with that. I used to get people for 20mph-30mph over all the time. In an attempt to be nice I'd write the citation for 9mph over instead of what they were really doing. However, I'd write in my comments box ( I keep a laser/radar log for every contact I make. Even the ones I let go. ) Citation written for 9mh over **Actual** 20mph over. When those people came to court to contest the citation for the lesser infraction I'd wait for them to enter the plea and then "Ammend" the citation to the actual. So say sometimes I'd say to a guy " Hey you were 15mph over the limit but I'll write you a seatbelt violation. No points and 114.00 instead of 200+ and 3 points." (This actually happened. ) Guy shows up and pleads not guilty because he was wearing his seatbelt, I ammended to speed and he was'nt ready. Adjudicated guilty assesed points, cost and court cost. This would be bad. So assuming you're telling the full story on the speed and you were cool during the stop you're ok to ask for a withold. If it was'nt all warm and fuzzy then you need an intermediary read: traffic lawyer. They all have a relationship with all the officers that regularly write in their area. Some of them are good and some adversarial. I'd say the one I get along with the most is Alan Rivas , you can look him up he's good people. (If you have to go that route he's good with most of us in this area.)

We all speed, there's just a question of when and where to do it. But there are also people out there that'll write you under the traffic control device statute for going 2mph over the posted limit. I can't say why they do it but I'll say that we all have people like that in some facet of our lives. If you have 10 friends there's one you're sketchy about going out drinking with. He's that guy.

I enjoyed reading this piece. I appreciate that you took the time to write and explain the whole procedure.
You are a good man! Unlike some other people on this forum who assume things of someone they know nothing about.

If you need it explained further get at me on PM. I'm also on CFLZ facebook.
