How to handle a speeding ticket from Delaware?
I got a speeding ticket on Route 13 Highway going 53 mph in 35 mph in Delaware. I really need to get the most lenient punishment possible as possible since this will effect my consideration for a job I am trying to obtain. I spoke to a lawyer and he said that he can get me no points, however, in NJ, when I had last gotten a ticket, I never had to go see a lawyer, I just would speak with the prosecutor or officer myself. Do you think I should get a lawyer? or Just go to court on my own and speak to the prosecutor or officer on my own. Thanks. Also, what is the difference between Justice of Peace court and Common Pleas, I received this email from the court but do not understand. Which do you think is better to go to? Please do help!!:
If you elect to go to the Justice of the Peace Court, the officer would prosecute the case.
If you elect to go to the Court of Common Pleas, the Attorney General would prosecute the case.

If it could impact a prospective job, I would play it safe rather than risk anything… If the lawyer says he can get 0 points, I would go with him.

Justice of the Peace Court seems to mean that the officer is the one who prosecutes you where Court of Common Pleas the DA prosecutes you. If this is the case, got to the Justice of the Peace Court.
The easiest and fastest way to handle a ticket is to send a check paying your fine. There is no guarantee that you will be charged with anything lower than speeding 15-19 mph over the limit.
