Interview Transcript
Scott Michael Dunn: How long does traffic court take, Andrew?
Andrew Russek: As Chris was saying, if you go there by yourself, it can take hours because you’ll sit in line to either talk to the prosecutor or the judge. And some of these municipalities are at night, so same thing, you’ll be there past dinner, just waiting, watching everybody else go first, especially if your name is later in the alphabet.
So, for attorneys, we often are able to work these things out in advance because we have direct communication with the prosecutors. Or we’re able to get there early or skip the line, so it moves much quicker if you have counsel.
