Around here there are lawyers that specialize in tickets, and the charge is usually a flat fee. I haven't used one in many years, but when I did, it was very reasonable $50-100. I think that worked for them because they would often have many clients in each court. I was there once years ago. In Houston, there were a bunch of court rooms. Our lawyer came in before everything started and asked "who's using Kubosh here" and at least 75% of the people in the room raised their hands (at least 15-20 people). Before we were done, the same guy left the room to go to another court room because he had clients there too. In my courtroom every one of his clients except one got off. THe reason that one didn't get off was because the guy was a dick to the cop and the cop remembered that and wouldn't play ball.
