Why do you have to go to traffic court? Did you get a ticket for reckless driving? Did you not qualify for any type of traffic school? What is the charge/ticket for? Was your license suspended/revoked?
In terms of hiring a lawyer, you should be able to represented by an attorney. However, you need to decide what is right for you. Contact an attorney in your state for a consultation to determine what your next step should be. Try www.attorneypages.com or your state bar or both.
