Ticket Clinic?

Just wondering if anyone has ever used these guys or any other lawyers for speeding tickets. Got hit doing 17 over on 95 and just seeing if it's worth getting a lawyer.

Depends on what you want out of the attorney.

Doesn't really matter who you hire, this is South Florida, the end result will always be the same.

If you're looking to have the ticket dismissed you can forget about that. Best thing an attorney will be able to do it ask the court to appoint you driving school and reduce your fine. Better to pay the money and have an attorney get you driving school than electing it yourself.

I'll just assume you have a less than stellar driving record so I highly suggest you get one. Call a place down in Miami, they all work in Palm Beach/Broward/Dade counties and it will be much cheaper than some guy on Okeechobee Blvd.

Yeah, I'd love to have it dropped but I know that wont happen. I was just seeing if there was really anything else they would do for $90...

why wont it get dropped?

ive had all of my florida tickets dropped. usually end up paying court fines which are the same as the ticket cost + another $100 or so to the lawyer.

if you havent been to class - you can go once every 365 days up to 5 times in your life. drops the points and lowers the ticket fine.

Get dropped? 17 over on I-95 in PBC, yeah right. Better to have the court appoint you driving school so it doesn't count towards your lifetime attempts.

Ticket Clinic

I used Ticket Clinic for a speeding ticket in Tallahassee (I-10) a year back. Citation was for 101 in a 70, ended up court-ordered traffic school (in person), +paid $300 in fines, plus attorney fees (which was another $300). My driving record is not bad (1 ticket every other year.. UNTIL I got the g37), however that was a lot of money to **** away.

Adding insult to injury.. It was in a rental.. a Dodge Caliber R/T!

follow up for those that were wondering...
It got withheld from adjudication, basically it got dropped. Cost me 90 bucks in attorney fees and the court costs which is basically the cost of the ticket. I think for 90 bucks at least its not on my record. This was my first ticket in FL though.
