Did you just call the Democrats weenies: Donny Deutsch great advice to Democrats to win 2022

A broken clock is correct twice a day and so is Donny Deutsch with his latest advice for Democrats, They should heed his sound advice.

Advice for Democrats

I have a love/hate relationship with Donny Deutsch. I still remember his statement that upset many Progressives. I wrote then::

My concern is something I heard on Morning Joe when one of the panelists, Donny Deutsch, a purported Democrat & Liberal first said he would vote for Trump if a particular Democrat won the primary. Really. I’ve always made it clear I would be supporting the choice of Democrats. When Bernie lost in the 2016 primaries I made it clear at Daily KOS that I would be all-in to support Hillary and I worked my a$$ off for her. I can sit and drink a cup of coffee with anyone who supports any candidate and still genuinely like the person. It is not hard to do that when one realizes that we live with people and not politicians. In fact, most politicians forget about us, the individual, soon after the election. Politics, Democracy ain’t easy. I sure wish we did a better job teaching it in schools.

But Donny Deutsch redeemed himself many times since including giving some good advice subsequently. I wrote about this one that was on point and still is.

Donny Deutsch, a regular on Morning Joe panelist came up with a great marketing strategy for Democrats. The panel had nervous laughter when Donny was done with the presentation. Deutsch is suggesting that Democrats tag every Republican with the “ASSAULT” moniker. As the party that is a protector of the ability to have assault weapons while not protecting healthcare and other life-saving social efforts, it is a pejorative that fits the bill. Unlike Republicans making the word “LIBERAL” a pejorative that does not live up to the hype, “ASSAULT” does because one lives and sees the effects of their assaults in blood, flesh, tears, and pain.

But the action plan he laid out with Nicolle Wallace is more important than is immediately evident. How do we know that? Because Republicans have used it successfully. While they have not won every race, they have consistently overperformed their politically given the lackluster support for their non-policies.

Deutsch suggests that a well-designed army of well-liked and articulate politicians begin selling Biden’s Build Back Better bill immediately. The bill is middle-class and poor people-centric. People will turn when they realize the Republicans will simply take it away.

Yes! A stopped clock is correct twice a day. Deutsch may have added another dimension because recently he has had some good advice.
Apache Kafka vs. RabbitMQ
By: Señorita Developer
Tags: Message Queue, Apache Kafka, Messaging, Rabbitmq

RabbitMQ

A traditional general purpose message broker.

Supports multiple messaging protocols like AMQP, MQTT, and STOMP.

AMQP: (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) An open standard application layer protocol for message-oriented middleware

MQTT: A lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices

STOMP: A simple (or streaming) text orientated messaging protocol

AMQP: (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) An open standard application layer protocol for message-oriented middleware MQTT: A lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices STOMP: A simple (or streaming) text orientated messaging protocol Delivers messages through both point-to-point and pub-sub methods.

Point-to-point: It is based on the concept of sending a message to a named destination.

Pub-sub: Any message published to a topic is immediately received by all of the subscribers to the topic.

Point-to-point: It is based on the concept of sending a message to a named destination. Pub-sub: Any message published to a topic is immediately received by all of the subscribers to the topic. Supports legacy applications (with plugins)

Best at complex routing logic.

Scale: around 50K msg per second.

Persistency: both persistent (Kafka stores a persistent log which can be re-read and kept indefinitely) and transient messages.

Subscription Types: both durable and ephemeral.

Main Use Cases:

- Background jobs or long-running tasks (like file scanning, image scaling or PDF conversion, etc).

- As a middleman between microservices (for example, notifications for order handling, at each order update — order placed, update order status, send order, payment, etc.).

Architecture:

Components: producers, exchanges, queues, and consumers.

A producer pushes messages to an exchange (direct, topic, etc.), which then routes messages to queues (or other exchanges).

A consumer then continues to read messages from the queue, often up to a predetermined limit of messages.

Message Order: The queues are sequential and FIFO (first in, first out) with RabbitMQ. FIFO ordering is not guaranteed for priority and sharded queues.
6 Customizable In-app Messaging Templates to Improve User Engagement
Tags: Template, Messaging, User Engagement

In-app messaging enables you to onboard new users, explain new product features, gather feedback, and create engagement with your users. You can send in-app messages to not only those users who have opted for them as an essential communication channel but to your entire app audience.

An effective in-app notification will improve the user experience, user session time, increase conversions, and boost long-term retention.

Here are 6 In-app messaging templates that you can use, including copy and CTAs. Just copy/paste, customize according to your user segment, and you’re good to go!

Use welcome messages to assist users who launch your app for the first time. Use this message at the center of the page, so users don’t miss it. Provide a short description and clear title that highlights your product’s value. Take advantage of images, gifs, and videos to draw attention. These In-app messaging templates are great to start a conversation with your user.

Leverage in-app announcements to share product updates and newly released features. This will help improve user engagement and drive feature adoption which will, in turn, promote retention.

When you want users to understand how your product works, you can introduce them to new options and features they aren’t aware of. A demo of your product is the quickest way to get users to understand your product better and the value you’re offering to them.

Promote the perks of a completed profile and encourage users to take a minute to personalize their experience for higher customer engagement and retention.

If you have a promotion that users can take advantage of at any time, such as a discount, an in-app message serves as a convenient reminder. Use personalized alerts and discounts to ensure users are informed about updates, policy changes, or sales, etc. These in-app messaging templates are good for brand marketing.

Use surveys to understand how your users feel about your overall service or specific features. Prompt users to rate your app using in-app messages. You can also use NPS to gather feedback from your active users without making them leave your product.

FBI Document Shows How Popular Secure Messaging Apps Stack Up
Tags: Technology, FBI, Apps, Messaging

An FBI document lays out the information various secure messaging apps can share with law enforcement.

By Nathaniel Mott

It can be hard to decide which secure messaging app to use. Luckily, a newly leaked document that was reportedly prepared by the FBI’s Science and Technology Branch and Operational Technology Division makes it easy to see what kinds of information various services can provide in response to requests for user data.

Rolling Stone reports that the leaked document was prepared on Jan. 7. It’s titled “Lawful Access,” and according to its header, it describes the “FBl’s Ability to Legally Access Secure Messaging App Content and Metadata.” The document is unclassified, but it’s alternately designated as “For Official Use Only” and “Law Enforcement Sensitive.”

“As of November 2020, the FBI’s ability to legally access secure content on leading messaging applications is depicted below, including details on accessible information based on the applicable legal process,” it says. “Return data provided by the companies listed below, with the exception of WhatsApp, are actually logs of latent data that are provided to law enforcement in a non-real-time manner and may impact investigations due to delivery delays.”
A Case Against Only Using Lowercase.

A Case Against Only Using Lowercase.

I have read several articles that extol the hipness and casualness of using only lowercase on social media and in personal messages. But coming from a generation that prides themselves on inclusion, this is a trend that excludes many of us with reading and processing disabilities.

I have Dyslexia. All the methods I have learned to help me both read and understand the written word, do NOT work when encountering lowercase only writing. I mostly identify words by their shape, but with only lowercase writing many words in a sentence are the wrong shape.

A simple message that should take me mere seconds to read and process, sometimes takes up to a full minute. Text-to-voice software has difficulty with the proper context of some words. This leaves me with two choices: take the time to work out this lowercase puzzle, or clean up my timeline by unfollowing people.

I chose to clean up my timeline. I made the decision that I would use as much energy to read exclusionary lowercase only messages as the writers put into writing them: none.

Alter is here to bring real privacy messaging & file sharing on Web 3.0
Tags: Cybersecurity, Blockchain, Privacy, Messaging, Defi

Alter is the world’s first blockchain-based decentralized messaging service platform, built on Secret Network. Using a secure data integrity sharing model that provides privacy by design will be launching soon, following later along with its governance token.

Alter intends to be a privacy-preserving secure communication platform leveraging Secret Contracts on the Secret Network blockchain. From a simple send & receive messages with file attachments to a global network with built features of sending and receiving funds, acquiring NFTs, and more.

Alter will have a governance token that gives voting rights to users to vote on applications upgrades and enhancements, giving back control to the community for transparency and integrity. This token will have a limited supply to provide stable and democratic governance and maintain what’s important, which is privacy in communications. Users will keep the token within their integrated wallets, along with stablecoins and other assets built on the secret network. By using more Alter, the users will receive more tokens as a reward for active participation.

ALTER — new logo with $ALTER token

“Alter will play a key role in unlocking the full value of a decentralized future in Web 3.0 because privacy is not only a human right, but also an important utility. Without privacy, users are in danger of damaging their social life, finances, control of data, and control of identity (impersonation risk). Surveillance by centralized entities and a range of data harvesting applications compromise our data — allowing malicious entities to leverage this data to manipulate economics, culture, global relations, and even “truth” itself.”It is time to jump off the grid from the primary internet and make privacy manageable.

Says the founder Oskars Jepsis. He and his team believe that the best way to have a safer, more reliable digital experience is by maintaining a balance of access and control within the web allowing sensitive information to be safe and not manipulated or controlled by third parties.

Durov’s reply to the founder of Signal messenger Moxie Marlinspike
By: Jitendra Pal
Tags: Security, Telegram, Messaging

Recently, Signal founder, Moxie Marlinspike, stated on Twitter that Telegram is even less secure than WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, providing a lot of misconceptions as an argument.

Pavel Durov published a devastating post on his English-language Telegram channel to prove the safety of his messenger.

A recent report has proven that Telegram sticks to its promise of keeping its user data private, while apps like WhatsApp give real-time user data to third parties, and despite their numerous claims about “E2E encryption”, can also disclose message contents.

The report has confirmed that Telegram is one of the few messaging apps that doesn’t breach their users’ trust.

I am not surprised. Most other apps couldn’t guarantee privacy to their users even if they wanted to. Because their engineers reside in the US, they have to secretly implement backdoors in their apps when the US government orders them to. If an engineer speaks publicly about it, then can go to jail for breaching a gag order.

In most cases the agencies don’t even need a court order to extract private information from messaging apps such as WhatsApp, and in other cases, court documents are shrouded in secrecy. Some supposedly secure apps have been funded by government agencies from their inception (e.g Anom, Signal ).

For many years the National Security Agency (NSA) has been making sure that international encryption standards are in line with what the NSA can decipher, and all other approaches to encryption are labeled as “non-standard” or “home-brew”. Through their proxies in the encryption industry (like this one), the NSA imposed flawed standards onto the encryption used by the rest of the world, cautioning everyone else from “rolling out their own encryption”.

No wonder US-based apps such as WhatsApp are plagued with backdoors — intentionally planted security loopholes that governments (and anybody else) can use to hack smartphones and extract private data from people.

I hear our US-based competitors are frustrated that they can’t match Telegram’s growth, despite heavily investing in marketing (something Telegram has never had to invest in). But in order to match our growth, they have to first make sure their actions match their marketing claims. Until then, data breaches and security issues in their apps will, unfortunately, remain unavoidable.
Messaging Service with Twilio!
By: Mahedi Hasan Jisan
Tags: Bots, Twilio, Beautifulsoup, Flask, Messaging

“The Twilio Customer Engagement Platform can be used to build practically any digital experience, using capabilities like SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, Video, email, and even IoT, across the customer journey.”

That being said, let’s create a messaging service using Twilio. You have to create an account in Twilio and it is going to be on the trial version.

→ Take a phone number using the trial version that can be used for messaging.

Trial Version Number!

→ We are going to be using MessagingResponse service from Twilio. In this article, we are going to use our mobile to send a text to that phone number that we got from Twilio. In return, MessagingResponse will return something back as a response. Make sense why it’s called MessagingResponse ?

→Now as a response, we are going to use Beautiful Soup to extract information from IMDB based on marvel movie names!

The Code:

SMS Bot!

→ The endpoint of the app is “/sms” and as you can see from line 15, Twilio will receive a “movie name” from the user which is you.

→ To extract the information from IMDB, we need the unique ID number for each movie, which we set in a dictionary so that we can find it easily using the movie name.

→ Then, we used the requests and BeautifulSoup library to get the page response and page content. Using JSON, the page content can be turned into JSON format, which is easier to find specific information such as movie names and descriptions.

→ Line 27 & 28 were used to create a response object using MessagingResponse() library from Twilio.

→ Line 34: Put the return information in the message object to return it as a string in line 35.

Codes are pretty simple in this example. We have used flask and Twilio to build an SMS chatbox! Well, let’s fire it up!

python bot.py!

The above picture says the server is running on HTTP://127.0.0.1:5000/ which is a local server using port 5000.

How will Twilio communicate with the local server?

The answer is: Ngrok

Ngrok is a cross-platform application that exposes local server ports to the Internet. Public URLs for building webhook integration. Now, since the local server is using port 5000, then we have to expose it to the internet. How?

ngrok HTTP 5000

ngrok!

The above command will expose HTTP://localhost:5000 to the internet using a temporary URL. Copy that URL and save it to the webhook section(Messaging) in Twilio for that specific number!

ngrok URL setup as webhook!

Now, it’s time to test the bot to see if it reply back properly. That being said, if we send “Endgame” as a text msg to the Twilio number, it should return the full movie name along with the movie descriptions. Right?

Message blocking is active — 13 solutions to unblock text messaging…

message blocking is active

Message Blocking Is Active — What It Means And How To Fix

It means that person has all text messaging blocked by their carrier and can’t send or receive any text messages. If it is — be certain the person you are texting to has their phone settings enabled to send and receive text messages. It could be a general rule or it could be a punishment.

This just happened to me. My girlfriend texted me and got that message. After falsely assuming I had blocked her, and being upset with me, it was her bill being overdue so they suspended her texting.

Her address changed, and that caused autopay to fail. Reboot your phone, then call your carrier, before you assume it’s on the other person’s phone.

You may have message blocking active, check with your carrier and ask if it is possible, if so ask how to disable the feature.

What is message blocking is active?

When message blocking is active, the recipient does not receive any messages you try to send. You may see “Free Message: Unable to Send Message, Blocking Active” on the screen.

It can happen for many reasons, but the sender or recipient is usually part of blocked contacts. Besides, T-Mobile users often face this problem. We’ll take a closer look at the causes in the next section.

Why is message blocking active?

Here is a list of possible reasons why “message blocking is active” you might receive a notification.

It is one of the most common reasons for blocking messages, as there are active notifications. It happens when the sender or recipient is part of your blocked contact list. You can try to verify this by contacting yourself and see if the connection is successful or not. In some cases, it may also turn parental controls on accidentally.

Shortcode problem

It seems to explain why many T-Mobile users have this problem. To solve this problem, you will need the guidance of experienced technicians.

Service failure

Again, this is not your fault. You may see the notification message blocking is active due to a time-lapse from your service provider. You can try contacting the appropriate customer service to see if messaging services have been suspended by mistake.

Surplus of Premium Messages

In this case, you may have selected an option that prevents the phone from receiving or sending premium messages. Even though a few messaging applications only use this feature, it is still an integral prerequisite to be effective.

Wrong plan

It happens when the subscription you subscribe to does not include messaging services. Please get in touch with customer service to find out if you have selected the right plan or not. Even if your messaging services are on your current plan, you may not have enough prepaid balance to send the message.
2016 will be the year of conversational commerce
By: Chris Messina
Tags: Bots, Messaging, Conversational Commerce, Convcomm

Nearly a year ago today, I wrote a post inventorying the forebears to what I believe has become the dominant trend of consumer computing apps in 2016, a trend that I dubbed Conversational Commerce and have tracked with the hashtag #ConvComm.

This trend best came to life in 2015 with Uber’s integration into Facebook Messenger:

And now we have data from Business Insider showing that messaging apps have eclipsed social networks in monthly actives:

And yesterday, WhatsApp (owned by Facebook) took the unanticipated (but easily expected) step of removing its $1 annual fee to go completely free in anticipation of a conversational commerce future:

Starting this year, we will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from. That could mean communicating with your bank about whether a recent transaction was fraudulent, or with an airline about a delayed flight. We all get these messages elsewhere today — through text messages and phone calls — so we want to test new tools to make this easier to do on WhatsApp, while still giving you an experience without third-party ads and spam.

The tech press seemed to grok the significance of this move (considering their coverage) in spite of historically underrating WhatsApp, even with its ~900M users.

On the very same day, sam lessin posted his thoughts about the winners and losers in the coming “bot” market, concluding that conversational experiences represent “…a fundamental shift that is going to change the types of applications that get developed and the style of service development in the valley, again.”

I agree, and so that’s why I’m ready to call it:
How to Ace Your Seasonal Marketing Campaign — GMS
By: Global Message Services, Gms
Tags: Sms Marketing, Viber, Mobile Marketing, Sms, Messaging

What does this phrase mean to you? Is it conjuring memories of the Starks, white walkers and the Night King? “Game of Thrones” appreciation aside, the next thing a dedicated marketer might connect the incoming winter with is seasonal marketing. A new season heralds new opportunities for sales.

Nearly 40% of online sales are generated in the last three months of the year. Considering that, it’s just impossible to ignore the power of seasonal marketing. By definition, seasonal marketing is when your business targets its marketing activities around specific times of the year. The best part about this is that your activities are not only limited to one big day — it’s also about adjusting your marketing campaigns to, for example, summer vacations. In fact, seasonal marketing is an extended version of holiday marketing.

In a recent consumer study by Google and the Boston Consulting Group, 70% of surveyed participants reported that their shopping journey involved online touchpoints. Digital is a critical part of the customer journey today, whether it’s online or in-store. In such circumstances, customer communications come to the fore, and using the right channels becomes a game changer for increasing revenues. Wrong tool selection will not do your business any favours: why support your customers via emails when 82% of them prefer live chats, for instance?

In this article, we take a thorough look at specific messaging techniques and tools to discover how they can help develop an efficient seasonal marketing campaign. You’ll also receive exclusive access to our Seasonal Messaging Guide for November & December 2021!

First and foremost, you should weigh the pros and cons about the season you selected. Is it popular among my customers? Do I have something to offer? If yes, begin your research on key trends. Monitor where the sales spikes are coming from, and then link them back to specific keywords. If you’ve already set up Google Search Console for your website, you’re on the right path to searching query data. Otherwise, you can try SEO tools, such as Ahrefs or SEMRush. Explore last year’s seasonal patterns to better prepare your marketing strategy. Also, don’t forget to study your competitors.

The next step would be to figure out the date or time period for your seasonal marketing efforts — that’s the foundation from which the campaign will grow. It’s also about budgeting as every new round of advertisement costs some pennies, sometimes even an arm and a leg. Have you ever noticed how fast Christmas related special offers disappear from retail websites and physical stores immediately after the celebration?
Introduction to RabbitMQ with Nodejs

Creating Application with Multiple Consumers

In this example publisher will take list of numbers as input, and will send to odd or even queues depending on number. Then there will be multiple consumers listening to each queue to check for behavior.

To check live behavior, it is required for consumers to be connected before publisher sends messages. Hence from following consumer code, run three consumers in three different terminals: there will be two consumers listening to odd queue and one consumer listening to even queue.

$ node ./consumer.js odd

$ node ./consumer.js odd

$ node ./consumer.js even

Now from following publisher code, it can send list of numbers to two queues. Here it will add 5 numbers as input to check behavior.

$ node ./publisher.js 1,2,3,4,5

Output of executing with one publisher and 3 consumers will be:

$ node publisher.js 1,2,3,4,5

Start publishing

Publishing number: 1 to queueName: odd

Publishing number: 2 to queueName: even

Publishing number: 3 to queueName: odd

Publishing number: 4 to queueName: even

Publishing number: 5 to queueName: odd

End publishing $ node consumer.js odd

Waiting for messages from queueName: odd

Received number: 1 from queueName: odd

Received number: 5 from queueName: odd $ node consumer.js odd

Waiting for messages from queueName: odd

Received number: 3 from queueName: odd $ node consumer.js even

Waiting for messages from queueName: even

Received number: 2 from queueName: even

Received number: 4 from queueName: even
Meta Messaging
By: Jerry James
Tags: Kindness, Humanity, Disarray, Truth, Messaging

Messaging is usually a bit of a mess for regular people.

Why?

Because regular people are varied, layered, and complex, you know… human.

The opposite is true for haters — messaging is easy for them because they are singular. They’re simple. They just hate.

Nothing much more to it — very little effort needed. There’s nothing sophisticated or complex behindhate. It’s a very easy, one-stop emotion. Thinking is always its enemy.

In fact, haters abhor anything virtuous — anything that takes effort or responsibility like honor, discipline, education or, God-forbid, the arts. They can’t handle any of that. Haters are forever Pavlovian mouth-breathers waiting for the bell.

Haters are by default lazy and selfish.

Laziness and selfishness certainly go well together. It’s always easier to paint the complexity of others as something bad than it is to make any personal effort, understand, or grow.

And the most lazy and selfish of all, the Kings of Hater Hill, are the racists and other bigots. They are the most incapable of compassionate effort or thinking beyond themselves. Facts, truths, details, kindness, empathy, etc… for the Kings of Hater Hill these all get lumped together as “disarray.”

Politically, the Right loves to label the Left as always being in “disarray” (mainstream media does this too, but they do it more for monetary gain). “Disarray” is a very effective spin-and-dismiss tactic for haters. Anyone who can walk, think, and chew gum at the same time is in “disarray.”

So the big question is how do you fight against a mob mentality of simplistic emotion?

You stop trying to ‘understand’ them.

They are an emotion.

They are not rational.

They are hate.

Quit giving them oxygen.

Regular people just need to stop trying to explain, accommodate or tolerate hate.

For example: a racist is a racist is a racist. Racism is pure, high-grade hate. There’s no mystery to it. The only true ‘disarray’ regular people get into is when they waste their time on messaging coming out of racists. Ignore it! It’s useless noise.

It’s evil.

Always always always condemn it, fight it, and stop it any way you can, but ignore hate’s noise.

It’s negative messaging.

Listen, you can’t win against an emotion. It is irrational. It is unreasonable.

Stop giving hate rights. Stop allowing it a chair at the table. Quit treating it like it matters.

Go ahead and let haters label you as being in “disarray.” In fact, stand up proud of it. Who cares?

The “disarray” they speak of is only a mirror of their own spiteful ignorance and lack of humanity, not the wonderful strength, beauty, and effectiveness of yours.
Procedure to Change Your Lawyer In the Middle of a Case

Procedure to Change Your Lawyer In the Middle of a Case legalnow.org Follow Jul 26, 2016 · 3 min read

Lawyer Change

In any kind of civil case, the lawyer-client relationship is multi-dimensional: part business agreement, part exercise in teamwork, and part close relationship requiring the divulging and maintaining of sensitive confidential information.

In all of its aspects, this relationship is founded upon mutual trust, and when that trust is broken it is difficult (if not impossible) for the lawyer and client to continue to work together.

What are the important considerations while changing your lawyer?

The fact that a client is free to change lawyer mid-case does not necessarily mean that it is wise to do so. The client should think about the below mentioned questions before thinking of changing the lawyer:

whether the existing lawyer-client relationship can be repaired so as to allow continuing representation.

whether the new lawyer will require a retainer, and if so, how much that will cost

how much time and effort it will take the new lawyer to get up to speed in the case

How the lawsuit gets affected by this change?

In ordinary circumstances, the new lawyer will ask for a substantial retainer, which will add to the client’s overall legal fees which as a client one would not prefer adding up more and more fees payment towards lawyers on the other hand not getting any good results.

Since replacing a lawyer mid-case can be costly and stressful, you may want to do some soul searching to figure out why the relationship has deteriorated, and what, if any, steps can be taken to salvage it. Therefore it is better to improve the misunderstandings your lawyer by more discussions unless and until the reason for the abandonment is a major flaw in the lawyer.

Like most of the people, even you might think that speeding or traffic tickets are minor nuisances that you can handle on your own. Well, hate to burst your bubble but the reality is a whole lot different. A speeding ticket has the tendency to have several negative consequences and if you admit to being guilty then it might even end up costing you way more money than hiring an aggressive defense lawyer to fight for you.

Now, there are various law firms that have attorneys available for all kinds of charges, and a speeding ticket charge is no exception. The professional speeding ticker lawyers in Missouri tend to help various drivers regularly avoid the expense and hassle that are involved with speeding tickets. Still, you might feel like you have got the situation under control and don’t need help from a lawyer. Well, the following are some of the reasons why you should hire a speeding ticket lawyer instead of admitting guilt for the charge.

· A speeding ticket might be more expensive:

If you admit guilt for speeding, you are likely to end up paying much more than just the fine. You can also expect to see your insurance premiums inflate for the next few years, and end up paying thousands of dollars more in total. If that’s not enough, you can even receive a much larger increase for a reckless driving ticket. So, the cost of hiring a lawyer is way more reasonable in comparison. However, not every other case requires a lawyer, so determine if your particular case warrants a lawyer’s help or not.

· You live in a different state:

If you don’t live in the state where you received your speeding ticket, then it can be quite the hassle to drive back and forth in order to appear in court. Think about the cost of gas you would have to pay, missed work, childcare expenses, and so on. Fortunately enough for you, if you hire a speeding ticket lawyer, they can appear in the court on your behalf in most of the cases, and you would not have to worry about driving back to that state.

· Get the best deal possible:

If you are facing a reckless driving case or other similar misdemeanors, then there is a chance that you can get it to plead down to a traffic citation. But, only a handful of people are skillful and knowledgeable enough to do this effectively. You should not expect the government to help you in such cases too. So, your best bet is to hire an experienced lawyer to help with your case.

Mentioned above were just some of the significant reasons you should hire a speeding ticket lawyer for your case. However, it is important that you find a reliable and experienced attorney to handle your speeding ticket charge if you want to get away with it.
