That being said, I received a ticket in Fairfax County that I intended to protest and called a lawyer to assist in the matter. He didn't think I had much of a case (oh well) and told me that the deal in Fairfax County is if you got the ticket, you'll be paying the fine and getting the points. There's not much deal making as there is in other districts. I did go to court, argued my point and received the fine and points, no break at all. That was just my experience.
