Hey guys,
I got caught on the GSP doing 86 in a 55...i thought i was keeping up with traffic...the trooper who pulled me over didnt think so. Well anyways, its a 5 point ticket and my insurance is going to skyrocket. This is my first speeding ticket...other than this my record is clean. I talked to a few lawyers...one said worse case scenario he could get me down to 2 points, and usually he could plea bargain to 0. But it would set me back about 600 bills, probably more. I think it would be worth it seeing as how my insurance would go up if i didnt.

This happened in woodbridge and he says he frequents there so hes sort of friends with the prosecutors.

So i have a few questions that need advice...

1) would it be wise to hire an attorney? or do you think i could plea bargain with the prosecutor myself because its my first offense.
2) if i did get 0 points on my lisence from this ticket does my insurance still go up?
3) does anybody know anyone that could hook me up in woodbridge? or anybody know how the prosecutors are there?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Jon
