Default Houston area traffic ticket lawyer.

Basicly I got a bull**** ticket for doing 68 while intering the freeway. He said i was doing 68 in a 55 and i told him iwas intering the freeway and was trying to match the flow of trafic. He says "well the speed limit is 55 in the shoulder." I decided I am taking his ass to court. Are there any good lawyers you guys use to get you out of tickets in the Houston area. I may just fight it myself because I think I have a good case. Who was in the blue WRX that passed me while I was pulled over. I was in webster on I 45 south. Any help would be great.

Just out of curiosity, were did he radar you at? Were you still on the feeder or on the section or ramp between the feeder and the freeway?

Oh yeah, another vote for Sprecher. He's 2 for 2 with me

A few people mentioned David Sprecher, who is quite good. Also, Lance Smith, who has got me out of quite a few. However, who actually gave you the ticket? Houston, Webster, or Harris County? That makes a difference...

I used Eutsler one time about 4 years ago. Unless he's gotten much better I would not recommend him. Presently I've been using Kameron Searle http://trafficticket.tripod.com/ . He's expensive but I've been very pleased with his results.

BUT..... I may have to switch to Mr. Sprecher as he's got a nice write up in the Houston Press. http://www.houstonpress.com/issues/1.../feature2.html

It is hard to know because the distance betwwen the bay area entrance ramp to I 45 south feeder is only fifty feet from the shoulder entrance to the freeway. So i suspect he first clocked me at sixty. My radar went off and I didnt even slow down because I was entering the freeway and trying to match the flow of traffic i never thought a cop would pull you over for entering the freeway at 68. Basicly i am pissed and want to annoy the cop for being a dick. If i am speeding on the highway or around town i am fine with getting a ticket but i was accelerating onto the freeway. I would fight it myself as i think i have a pretty reasonable story but Webster cops and courts are known for being dicks so i figure if a lawyer isnt pricey i will let him deal with it.

What areas can he cover? We've got way too many ticket vendors between Northwest Houston to Galveston: DPS, Harris County Sheriffs, various Constables, Jersey Village, Metro wanna B's, HPD, Webster, etc.. Dickenson, Galveston, LaMarque, etc.

webster gave me the ticket. This is my fourth ticket total. not in one year. Only one is on my record. So many people to choose. I will prolyy go with the sprecher guy as he seems highly recomended. Webster is in Harris county right. I know are constables have jurisdiction there and the station is in Harris

A long time ago, Sprecher, Lance Smith, and Elija all had an office together. There was a divorce, and the practice was split to protect it from the (ex)wife. They all know each other, and everyone else! I use Lance, and have since the early 80's. Call them, and they may recommend someone for a small town they do not cover. Lance has referred my out dozens of times.

i say no re: markowitz. he is currently fighting a ticket for me. he doesn't, he sends someone. basically my cop showed and so he said - what do you want to do? deferred abjudication or defensive driving? i was like, "no" i don't want this on my record. i wasn't speeding. he said, ok, then we will request a trial by jury, but they only hear 1 case a day and yours isn't that important so we will keep rescheduling but it means sitting in traffic court time and again. heck - i could have asked for that crap on my own. my next day in court is next month so i will report back on the outcome. right now i am not all that happy. if he does get me off, then i will let you know.

...and read post #8 for info on Houston's #1 traffic attorney.

Sorry to revive an OOOOLD thread but I just got a ticket on my way to work and was wondering how many of you have actually gotten off free and clear with Sprecher or whomever else you use. I am probably going to visit Sprecher later today to talk to him about my ticket, I don't want to waste my time with DD and I can't have deferred without DD since I'm not 25.

Thanks Guys
