Anyone with legal questions in Michigan

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am a criminal attorney in Michigan. I've had my own practice for the past 6 years and worked as a public defender for about 2 years before that in Detroit. I don't smoke marijuana anymore. I used to be an avid smoker but I quit just before my daughter was born.

I am offering advice to anyone with legal troubles or simple questions. Understand that my area of expertise is in Michigan law so I may not be able to offer any answers for other states' laws. Just let me know if I can help.

I HAVE A QUESTION!!!

i got pulled over in PA doing 93 in a 55....the cop gave me a ticket for 75 in a 55 but wrote down 93 and circled it at the bottom and said that if i tried to fight the ticket that he would come in and the judge would know i was really going 93, not 75 and id get fucked in the ass. my dad wants to take it in to "plea bargain" court and try to get the POINTS reduced, not the fine and thinks that the cop cant charge me with a 93 in a 55, because the ticket is for a 75 and he cant change that. is it worth it? can the cop/judge change it like that?

Depends on the prosecutor... generally they will make a deal, especially if you come in with an attorney. Though technically, the prosecutor may amend the ticket to address the 93 mph speed. Usually this is only done if you refuse to take their offer and want a hearing on the ticket. Your chances of getting the points eliminated or reduced depends on 2 things: (1) your driving record and (2) if you were cordial to the cop.
