I've seen it happen in similar situations.

I spent almost $500 on fines, and I had a +1 driving record, and a lawyer. The lawyer definitely kept me out of jail.

There should be a box on the ticket that says something like "You can avoid appearing in court only if this box is checked." If that box is checked, skip court and pay the fine. I don't believe wreckless tickets are prepayable though...so if it is checked that might be another reason to get a lawyer...they could possibly get the whole ticket dropped on that technicality, which would be cheaper in the long run.
