Video: Beat Your Speeding Ticket – Even After Losing the First Appeal!

Can You Appeal a Speeding Ticket Twice?
If you get a speeding ticket and pay to appeal it before a clerk magistrate, and the clerk magistrate finds you responsible, is it worth it to appeal again in front of the judge?
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen with Rightful Legal, and the answer to this question is yes. Today I’m in Dudley District Court, and I represented a client who was found responsible at the clerk hearing. Today, we had a hearing of an appeal in front of a judge, and my client was found not responsible.
Legal Strategy That Worked
The officer did show up. The officer testified, and I made a presentation and argument on behalf of my client, focusing mainly on their really quality points and how they’re a responsible person. They take this matter extremely seriously and that this won’t happen again. There’s a lot more to it, but that’s the basic gist.
Why a Judge Appeal Matters
It is very important to appeal it. If you’re found not responsible, it does not go on your driving record. You do not have to pay for the ticket, and your insurance premiums will not increase. It’s always worth a try to get what you ask for.
Should You Hire a Lawyer?
It is also important to hire private counsel to represent you in these types of matters because it is extremely difficult to advocate on your own behalf. Hiring private counsel that understands the court systems here in Massachusetts and the judges can be a great advocate.
