Refer to me a traffic attorney?

So I was at deals gap with my buddy over the weekend (got pictures and video which will come up later) and got myself a reckless driving ticket on the TN side . Now normally id just pay the fine and be done with it but as this is Georgia id reealllly rather not have my license suspended (im 20). So im wondering if anyone knows of a good traffic attorney that they can refer to me?

Were you being reckless? If so, nut up and pay it.

well, i got a wreckless driving ticket for "laying drags in a circle" in a front wheel drive. the cop was a total dick. if you just pay the ticket, youll have you license suspended for 6 months and a fine. i pleaded with a judge(me and my buddie both did, we both got busted at the same time). he mae us leave our cars, license and key at the police station for the weekend for 6 weeks and changed the ticket to a parking ticket. ended up being a damn $250 parking ticket, but its better than not driving for 6 months. it doesnt show up my record and my slate is clean(except for a recent bogus speeding ticket ill take care of in two months at court). i was 18 at the time, my buddie was 22.

my advise, go to court the day stated on the ticket, plead with the judge. are you in college? if so, thatll help you out tremendously. full time job? that too will help. just keep you cool, be polite and try to get lucky.

It goes like this: my buddy has a 86.5 n/a supra and he was right behind me. While we were going up there the manifold to cat split in two so it sounds like some crazy V8 at idle. Well unfortunately his car at 3k rpm sounds a whole lot faster than it really is going. I suppose whoever was watching must have assumed we were doing some crazy stuff by the way his exhaust is sounding (and the 7 in front of him must be doing equally crazy things as the supra is sounding fast then the 7 must be moving FASTER!?).

Reckless driving is checked, and the narrative only says reckless driving. Ive been reading and I think I will send a request for discovery. Supposedly this requires them to send me all evidence that will be used aganist me in this case. If they cant pony up, then my ticket is dismissed.
