The $750 lawyer is charging his fee ONLY on his service with no guarantees of any sort.

I'd go with the $175 rate. The only traffic violation i fought and lost was the one that i assumed i could easily explain without an attorney...it was for driving with a clear-acrylic license plate cover. The ticketing officer assumed it was the type designed to block traffic & toll cameras. After proving that it wasn't with a variety of evidence, including the original receipt, i still lost.
There seems to be many gray areas within NYC traffic laws that traffic attorneys are well-versed in. Not sure what type of points your violation carries but i say fight it with the help of an attorney.
