Hello mafioso.
Thank you for your response.
Some years ago, I received my first traffic citation. I was guilty. I received letters from attorneys asking to help me. I was scared and chose one. I wasn't really sure what was involved so I thought it was a good idea to have an attorney. I signed a waiver and he also told me to sign the pink citation. I look back now and wonder what he did for me. He never really spoke to me about what he would do and he never spoke to nor wrote to me about the results. I basically had to make my own phone calls to find out. I received exactly the points for what I did.
Now, I have received a traffic citation for which I do not believe I am guilty for. I have briefly talked with a few attorneys and or their ... assistants?? Attorneys are very busy in the mornings. Anyways, I feel more comfortable with women and unfortunately I am finding more male attorneys than female attorneys, especially with traffic as one of or their specialties. In addition, the men seem to be the fighters (not guilty). Of course, this is all a generalization of what I am seeing in my little experience. The attorney I chose has already chosen for me to sign a waiver (plead guilty) without even asking what I want to do.
So that is why I asked what I asked. Why do I not want to go to court? Don't want to sit in court for 3 or 4 hours straight. I have anxiety especially in crowds. I don't want to take the stand where I might be asked questions that have nothing to do with the incident. I am kind of a private person and I there will be all these people that I don't know sitting there looking at me...listening to me. I am lucky I wasn't accused of something far worse. I could possible talk to the attorney I have chosen and say I want to plead not guilty and I just pray I can stand being in court for however long it takes. Can a person wait outside the courtroom???
Anyhow, thank you again mafioso.
