I got screwed by my lawyer when they attempted to throw Reckless at me.
About 2 weeks after my ticket I got a bunch of letters in the mail from ambulance chasers who wanted to defend me. My dad picked one and we never saw the guy until the court date. (waiting in the courtroom!) Once my name was called I'm not even really sure what happened, I answered some Y/N questions and we were out of there. Turns out they only got it knocked down to Careless (still 3 pts) and I was out $400 for the lawyer PLUS everything else. I was sore the next day
