i have been in the situation before got one when i was 16 and they also told me at my arraignment that i could get up to a year but all i got was a decent fine just get a good attorney and try to get them to drop the charge down to a careless driving and you will walk away with a fine

 

my gf used Jenne before, tons of people reccomended Mitch Green (speeding in seattle) as their layer, either one of those and that party of three you mention should do the trick.

for example, I was cited a reckless for drifting, I paid $1,500 for a less qualified lawyer and mine was only reduced to neg 2. so I would go with who ever can asure your that it will be dropped.

good luck bro, Aaron
