There are many reasons for this statement including the fact that political favor is not something that will help you in this area of defense as plea bargaining is prohibited. The lawyer you hire will have to possess the tools to persuade the judge in Westfield that the case against you is fatally defective otherwise there is no way for the ticket or summons to be dismissed.
