[quote=Anonymous]You should get the attorney.  There are chances that if you appear in court or send a letter than you will get a lenient judge who will decrease the charge.  There is also a chance that you will get a strict judge who wants to punish offenders.  If you have the latter, a good local attorney who knows the judge will know what needs to be done to "talk him down".   As some PPs have said, you might be able to get away with showing up, you might be able to get away with writing the letter.  But do you want to run the risk that you get the hanging judge who wants to punish the out-of-town offenders and risk your husband having to report for jail time?  Your odds are much better of getting out of the jail time and points on your record if you get the local attorney who knows the circuit and the judges and just do what the attorney says.  You are paying for the attorney's experience and local knowledge of the local traffic court scene to not only minimize the penalties, but specifically to avoid the most serious penalties even if you have the most difficult judge.  It's money well spent and gives you the best chance of him getting off without jail time or points.[/quote]
