$5,500 for the attorney
$1,400 impound fees.
6 month license suspension.

My advice, get one of those traffic specialist attorneys (now a days they are like $1,500) otherwise you will get boned.





this is very bad advice.. 25+ over the limit is a misdemeanor in California, chances of the Judge lowering the fine is slim to none.

What will happen here because of being triple digits is the D.A. in your county WILL get the case, and you WILL be prosecuted, this is not a normal traffic court situation.

If you can get the D.A. to drop it to under triple digits (and chances are you will need an attorney for that) AND get it under 25+ over, then traffic school is an option.

Anything 25+ over and traffic school is not an option, anything triple digit is a misdemeanor traffic offense.

Take it from someone who has been thru it, the laws here have gotten HARDER since 1993, not easier..

These are State Vehicle Codes, not county laws, so it will go to the Superior Court, not to traffic court, that is why you have a mandatory appearance.

I also suggest you get a ride to the court, because the Judge can remand you to custody and impound your vehicle on the spot if he so chooses.

You need an attorney. This is a serious matter.

I just spoke with a friend who is an attorney out in CA, and she said you'd better get an attorney.....you'll be lucky to keep your license after you go to court....she said maybe 30 days or 3 month suspension and a size able fine. She's in real estate law, but knows enough that I'd take her word and seek some counsel ASAP.
