The ticket says that I have to mail them in my plea and the fine amount will be determined by a judicial hearing officer. It doesn't say I have to go to court or anything.
Is this an extra bad ticket or is that normal?

81 in a 55 is pretty bad.. I highly doubt an attorney will be able to do anything for you. Your best bet is the day you go to face the judge, you be very sympathetic and apologize for speeding. If this is your first offense, the judge may give you the option of traffic school which when completed may cut the fine in half or more and no points taken off your license. Well worth it in my opinion.
