I should know because I was a former court employee and saw a lot of defendants fall for this.

You are correct on the part that the lawyers do things I could do. But your average person doesn't know about asking for an engineering survey, or what case laws to quote, or that the district attorney doesn't have to provide much information/documents to win the case but if you request the information/documents and they don't provide it you win by default based on case law. The reason I use them now, even though I could easily defend myself, is that if I go to court I'm not working. I make more than $200 a day so if I go to the arraignment and then my hearing another day I've lost way more than the $200 the lawyers over at the Ticket Clinic cost. So for me it's more cost effective. Now if someone was unemployed or made less than $200 a day and knew enough to defend themselves I'd say do it yourself.
