You can get advice free from a lawyer about anything, no matter when it happened, as well as the discount on legal services as part of your membership in the Prepaid Legal Services plan. Police officers are usually familiar with the program, since Prepaid Legal Services offers a special plan for law enforcement. The police officer will know that he will have to face some hard questions from your attorney in court. Possibly it could help get you off with a warning rather than a citation. It's not the fine, it's what your insurance company does to your rates.
Attorneys rate each other.
A national rating service, the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory , publishes rankings of attorneys every year. But Prepaid Legal Services doesn't use any of them. And those attorneys are the only ones you'll deal with when you use Prepaid Legal Services. In fact, for attorneys to qualify they go through a rigorous two-year screening process. There are no long waits to get your problem solved, either.
