Does anyone know any good lawyers in the Greenville, SC area or that will service that area? I have recently acquired a reckless driving ticket because a cop accused me of racing when I wasnt. I posted the story on here, but I believe it got removed due to lack of title. The story is below:
"The situation is I was going down a 4 lane 45mph zone road with no one else on it except a '77 280z which I had just had a chat with on the side of the road. Well he goes flying past me and ends up about 500-1000ft ahead of me when I see the blue lights flick on and he slams on the brakes and slides onto a curb. I casually a stop in the median so that the cop doesnt try to come after me and to see if he is ok (granted i stopped before he did without skidding). The cop puts his spot light on me and tells me to pull back to him, which i did and shut off my car. He requests I bring my license to him and stand in front of his car. He then claims we were both going 68mph in the 45mph zone and that we were racing, which I don't see how in he could be so far ahead of me and we were racing but going the same speed. He then has both of us pull into the median and writes us both a reckless driving ticket and him a lack of insurance ticket for not having his documentation with him. Now I may have been speeding, but I dont believe I was going as fast as he was, and nor did i skid out and hit a curb. I have a feeling with a lawyer this one will be pretty easy to get out of, but what do you guys think?"
I looked up some lawyers that handle traffic cases in the phone book and none of them sounded interested in dealing with this at all. Please help guys.
