Always try to defend yourself

If you never try something you will never succeed at that thing. Sometimes the law can be harsh and unreasonable and you should fight for your rights. Always put forward your best argument and have a lawyer defend you, It is worth a try. 

The Court process is intimidating and follows strict guidelines. Most people have very little understanding of the court process and this puts them at a severe disadvantage when defending themselves against a well resourced prosecution. 

Always engage a lawyer and try to defend yourself. Your lawyer will be able to prepare you for court correctly. Legal advice provides a well thought out and calculated approach based on experience. Lawyers can direct you towards a self improvement course or advise you to obtain Doctors reports. This type of evidence can make the difference between a bad result and an excellent result. 

Fees and fines can be reduced and waived by the Court if your lawyer can show that you would struggle to pay the fine. Some fines are as little as $100 and upwards of $2000. This makes it logical to engage a lawyer as they will not only potentially save you money but they will put you in the best position to reduce your sentence or have your case dismissed entirely.
