Re: speeding ticket
Having a lawyer can be very helpful. You are possibly a candidate for a special disposition where you would pay a fine but get no points.

Re: speeding ticket
The lawyer could be helpful in negotiating a plea to a lesser charge (with fewer points). However, it's unlikely that the Maryland traffic court would have any control over the MVA's assessing points against your driving record for whatever offense you're convicted of.
