If you somebody chooses to contest a trffic violation charge,is a lawyer needed to appear before a judge? -

it is possible to contest a charge without a lawyer,does it cost more money to find a lawyer as compared to just paying a $130 fine to the ditrict court of maryland?

It s not worth hiring a lawyer unless you ve got a very serious offense like a felony DUI. In most cases you can plead your case before the judge if you ve got some sort of evidence. I once beat a speeding ticket because I was able to prove to the judge my speedometer was off because I changed my transmission. As for your 130 dollars that wouldn t even get you a consultation with most lawyers. So you might be better off paying the fine.

No you can just show up and explain your side of the story.
