"My recommendation would be to never admit that you knew you were speeding, because he will jot that down," said Hollander."Admitting that you know you were speeding is really not a good idea."

Once a ticket has been written, Hollander said there are four options a person has.

Pay the ticket Attend driving school Fight the ticket themselves Hire a lawyer

Option one is not the best option, said Hollander, for not only must the ticket be paid but insurance rates will go up as well.

Some states give traffic offenders the option of attending traffic school, said Hollander.They must still pay for the ticket, and for traffic school, but the offense will not count as points toward their insurance rates.

Option three is not a very good option either, said Hollander, unless the person plans to spend a lot of time doing research and attending court hearings.

"When you finally get your chance to go before the court, are you going to know what to ask?"said Hollander."Are you going to know what questions to ask the officer?Are you going to know what things to say to the judge?"

If not, then hiring a lawyer is the best option, said Hollander.Some law firms, like The Ticket Clinic, offer guarantees, where if the firm is not able to reduce the violation to a non-points offense, meaning it will not count toward insurance rates, then clients gets their money back.

A lawyer who specializes in traffic offenses is going to know infinitely more about the ins and outs of traffic laws than the average person.

"In Florida, in a radar case, we have a 22-point checklist that we go through in every individual case to make sure that the officer has done everything that he needs to do" said Hollander."And a person that doesn't handle traffic tickets on a regular basis obviously isn't going to know that."

There are also obscure laws not known to the general public than can help get a traffic violation thrown out.

"One rule that's interesting is, in California, a person has the ability to ask for a traffic and engineering study that has got be approved by the Department of Safety and Motor Vehicles," said Hollander.

Ted Hollander, an attorney with The Ticket Clinic, a law firm that solely defends traffic offenses and D.U.I., said that hiring a lawyer is convenient, timesaving and ultimately saves the violator a significant amount of money in the long run.

"What we charge is almost always less than the ticket.If we win and the case is dismissed then that is the end of it," he said.

"Sometimes the ticket is not dismissed and in those cases we still try to keep the points off the person's record.If the ticket is not dismissed court fees may be assessed and the client pays the court costs."

Hollander said that his goal is to get the ticket entirely dismissed and to prevent a person from getting points on their license, which could cause their insurance premiums to increase.

"We offer a money back guarantee if you do receive points," he said.
