(Favorable outcomes) Always includes paying the fine on a lessor charge and/or accepting a deferral program or traffic school. That is extra time and money above lawyer fees. Also these are things I am more than capable of negotiating myself with the prosecutor.
And that right there is YOU admitting that just throwing $75 dollars at a mouthpiece is not a sure fire way to get a dismissal, which is how you stated it works for you in your earlier post.

You need to learn to read, kiddo. I've never said it was a sure-fire way to a dismissal.
My exact words, actually were:

So the use of the word dismissal was....how do the politicians say it...a misspeak. What I meant is that I make it so the ticket doesn't appear on my record. In other words, according to my driving record, it's as though the ticket never happened.
In other words, in *this* thread, people were bantering back and forth and I saw no need to repeat the in-depth, lengthy post I'd already made in another thread on the subject. If, however, you'd like to read that post, all you have to do is

I've had more than half of my tickets dismissed outright. Of the remaining tickets, the only reason they weren't dismissed out-right was because I used the wrong lawyer. (One of my lawyers doesn't go to JP court. He instead has the ticket 'transferred' to an appellate court, which means if there is no 'technical' merit for the ticket to be dismissed, it won't be. But with the deferral he gets, the ticket still won't be on my record).
The other lawyer, however, *does* go to JP court and when that happens, I don't even have to show up. He does it for me. Then months later I get a letter in the mail from him saying it's been dismissed and no further action is required from me.
Lastly, dude, I don't really care what you think of what I have to say. You can take it or leave it for all I care. My record speaks for itself. As I said, the last citation to appear on my record was an out-of-state ticket from over 7 years ago. (And it's safe to say I've gotten a ticket or two since then.)
