Need a lawyer for a ticket in NJ!

Dave I have two lawyers that come to mind. In bergen county, the one I found who I should have used for my ticket. The other guy I know is the guy I used, he blows in bergen county but he has all the connections down in the freehold area. In my opinion it comes down to who knows who and not necessarily how good of a lawyer they are .

 

Agree... When I (and a few others) got zapped down in Warren, NJ, the lawyer I went with was competent... but not much more. Yeah, he chatted with the prosecutor for a bit (i.e. the "who you know" component), but the charge wasn't reduced that much and, when we went before the ***UNBELIEVABLY*** self-righteous, holier-than-thou, stick up his a$$ judge, I actually did most of the talking! Ask Niptuck -- I basically was the one that convinced him to accept the plea (in my case), not the lawyer...

 

You are your own best lawyer. The process is simple and you are more concerned with the turnout then any lawyer is. Thats my advice. Save the lawyer bill for BIG offenses, like armed robbery and/or homocide.

Call them, Plead NOT GUILTY, get a court date, get there early, meet with the prosecutor and make the same deal they will give your attorney. Its that simple.

Ciao Bello- I respectfully disagree. I know you had a bad experience with a lawyer on a traffic beef, and it may seem that I am just promoting the second oldest profession, but the reality is, you can get your ass handed to you when appearing pro se. I had to appear in the infamous Palisades Court for an alleged violation recently. I could not believe the hostility and disdain emanating from the bench for the the good citizens who appeared pro se. Those represented by counsel had the opportunity to negotiate in advance with the prosecutor, and with only one exception I witnessed, the judge rubber-stamped every plea deal that was brought to him with the prosecutor's blessing.
My take is the reverse of yours- for the typical 500 or so bucks that the average speeding charge calls for in lawyer's fees, it is so well worth the money to minimize the negative outcome, reduce your insurance tariff and keep your record relatively clean. Having said that, there are ****ty lawyers, there are great lawyers who are out of town talent who are counterproductive when used in the wrong place and even a great lawyer with connections is going to have a hard time with supercar speed charges. That said, as I lawyer, I would never go into one of these courts without hiring one suited to the purpose.
