My son got a ticket recently. He was not driving the NSX!
Apparently the cop said he only pulled him over because the car matched the description of a homicide (!) suspect. However the ticket is for misdemeanor exhibition of speed, a nasty ticket. Any tire squealing was minor and incidental to a low-speed turn, according to my son.
My son needs a clean record to gain a Coast Guard certification later. Given the number of ways a novice can mess up, and the number of tricks a local hot shot traffic lawyer knows, I believe that hiring a lawyer would be cost-effective. It would probably be a DUI specialist, even though this case should be much easier.
My son had traffic school a little less than a year ago, so I don't think he could get that again without major cooperation from the judge. I have two questions:
1. Do you guys have recommendations? The court is in Oakland, I believe.
2. Is a contingency fee arrangement legal for this? E.g., $X for eliminating the misdemeanor, $Y for traffic school, $Z for a dismissal?
