Probably not.Speeding is a summary offense, lower than a misdemeanor or a felony. I'd advise you to enter a not guilty plea on the ticket , pay the fine, and ask for a hearing. At the hearing, ask the police officer if he can reduce the violation, so that a guilty plea can be entered WITHOUT GETTING ANY POINTS AGAINST THE LICENSE. Typically, the police officer will agree to this. The County collects the fine but the driver gets no points for the violation. You don't need an attorney to do this.
