From what I've seen, Lawyers are pretty much slapdicks when it comes to this kinda stuff. Sure they can plea for you and get the charge reduced, but there is a real good chance you can do that on your own as well.
The cop you dealt with was a dick. *******. *******. Whatever you want to call him. Standard issue doughnut eater. There are some good one's that are not on power trips out there, but not too many.
Plead not guilty REQUEST A SPEEDY TRIAL when you do. Most courts are so backlogged and messed up they schedule out more than 30 days. If your day in court is out more than 30 days from the time you enter your plea, have the judge dismiss the case. Talk to the arraignment officer at the arraignment before you get a lawyer. The arraignment will be at the time you plead at the courthouse. If he gives you a really good deal, I'd probably take it. If you are convicted of racing, chances are it will be expensive, and it may cost you your license.
People are stupid and they are dead set against anybody in this world having fun. That's why our laws are so strict for this kinda crap.
