Default Traffic Attorney, Seattle Area

Fellow Rennlisters and Porsche owners,

Does anyone have a good referral for an attorney who handles traffic tickets in the Seattle, WA area?

I am a habitual traffic offender, and have been using an attorney to defend my traffic tickets (on average 1 per year), but she charges $350. I am hoping to find a good attorney that charges a little less. Does anyone know of someone who fits this bill.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

$350 per tix? that's cheap. my buddy's lawyer charged about $6k for a single over 100mph tix.

Hi Guys

Out of interest, what are the fine/s for speeding State side???

Here in NZ, if you get clocked 20kph over the limit the fine is about $120.00 plus a few demerit points.......

Do you really need legal rep. for such things your way???

Over here, a lot of folks will dispute the infringement notice, make an appearance in court and they usually throw it out as the cost of getting the cops in for a day in court far out ways the revenue from the ticket....

Cheers
James

it's different from state to state.

some apply points to tickets, others don't.

the cost of the ticket is nothing. it's the insurance hike that bites you in the ***.
