that could be the case.  that certainly is an awfully high fee.  my 
fine/court costs will be $85, which leaves $175 for the attorney, which 
is considerabley different from $500!  i might talk to another attorney 
or two if i were you, before i made any commitments.  and you should 
probably call your insurance company to make sure how much your premiums 
will go up if XXXXX happens or if YYYYYY happens.  for a case like yours 
( >15 mph over), i've heard that insurance companies increase the rates 
about $300-400 a year, tho' that depends on the company....

good luck!
