Re: lawyer no lawyer??
Where is this?
I was at court escorting one of my students Monday and there was someone there who got a reckless on the beltway (Fairfax) who also got hit for driving on a suspended.
He pleaded guilty for the reckless but not guilty for the suspended because he claimed no notification. The judge was in a really good mood because he dropped the charges on the suspended and even lowered the cost of his reckless. He was self-represented...AND he was black! (That was a joke, people).
Anyway, a lawyer won't improve your hcnaces anymore than being respectful and honest with the judge and hoping for the best.
