The courts just want the money and could care less about points so they plead it down to impeding traffic or something like that. You can do this yourself if you keep it professional and dont let emotions get in the way, treat the prosecutor like a buddy, he just wants his day to end like everyone else. Just ask what can I do to get this reduced, I have no record and would like to keep it that way. Mention your not against the court assessing a fine since you know you were in the wrong but you cant afford your insurance rate increasing. They are people too, it does work.
Best advice go to court a few nights before your case, watch how deals are made. Don`t walk in with no background. Good luck.
Once in Parsippany the cop didn`t show and the judge rescheduled my case for 30 days, I raised holy hell and said If I did`t show I would have a warrant, now you want me to come back because the prosecutor cant get his case together? How about we fine him and call it a night. The judge smiled and said have a good night, case dismissed. I got 3 more tickets dismissed by that same judge over the years. Fair guy....... He would never let cops issue tickets at the bottom of a hill, he would say are they supposed to ride the brakes the entire way down.
