What does the attorney fee cover when you hire a lawyer for a traffic ticket in Texas?

The attorney’s fee charged in the beginning will normally only cover one or two pretrial hearings.  Attorneys try to keep their fees low in this area of law to allow citizens to use their services.  However, this means that the lawyer has to be efficient with the time spent on each individual case.  If cases need additional work done, then the fees can increase depending on the services needed.  For example, obtaining discovery, reviewing videos, performing trials, etc. can cost additionally based on the time necessary to perform those services.
