Here's what Id do, for what its worth. Id go down to the courthouse and ask a few people who lawyer wise handles alot of traffic tix offenses. The key to this is to get the right lawyer who has a good relationship with the assistant DA. Its not what you know, its who you know. I know for a fact that attorneys who appear in court with the assistant DA are more willing to cut those guys a better deal from time to time. After you get a name or two, go talk to them and retain them. If it were me, Id get your case continued a time or two, for 2 reasons: First, it allows your attorney to work on the DA a little longer, and Second, the trooper may forget about the court appearance after its been bumped a time or two, then you'll get it dismissed if he fails to appear in court. Good luck.
