"It’s just a night out—no harm"
A public‑intoxication conviction suggests irresponsible behavior and can show up in background checks. A lawyer can often get the case dismissed or negotiate a deferred disposition with alcohol‑awareness classes.
"Open container is a small fine—I’ll pay"
Even a small fine adds a conviction. Insurance companies may treat open‑container convictions similarly to other moving violations, resulting in premium hikes. An attorney can often resolve the case without a conviction.
"Lawyers cost more than the ticket"
The fine may be $100–$200, but the cost of a conviction in lost opportunities and increased insurance lasts for years. Ticket Guys offers affordable representation that often costs less than the long‑term penalties.
