I wish I had asked this sooner . . are you keeping good records of your contacts with Interstate? "Don't worry about it" worries me, too. Also, do you know what day and for what purpose you are to next appear in court? It sounds like the coaches are keeping secrets from the team.
The reality here is that this is not big potatoes to a lazy or lousy lawyer. Unfortunately, as in every walk of life, the majority fall into one of those categories. To a good lawyer, EVERY case is big . . all the eyes get crossed and the Ts get dotted. Category L-L lawyers are happy to "wing it" with the ticket and the cops report/narrative. Category G lawyers will craft a set of questions and depose the cop/witness(es) to get to the bottom of what they have and what motivates them and then build a defense around it. Unfortunately, either method is perfectly legit and you'd respect either if you win, which is how they get away with it.
Remember what I posted earlier . . the majority of these tickets probably get mailed in with the fine?
You're paying good money because you're interested in a different outcome. It doesn't matter how much you paid. You paid and you are entitled to a thorough and aggressive defense. You need to get a handle on where you stand, how aggressive they intend to be and what strategies they intend to deploy. Your license should mean as much to your lawyer as it does to you.
