Thanks guys, he was super impressed with Doug, the guy called him back right away after his initial inquiry, then after looking into his ticket information says he can most likely get it knocked down to nothing for like $250. Then he calls my cousin back and says,
"Well this is rather awesome. The lawyer just called me back. The city I got the ticket in has a program I can just do online. I pay the fine and for that program and the offense never gets reported to the BMV. Don't need to get a lawyer or anything"
I thought that was pretty cool, Doug could have just kept mum about it took my cousins "out of town" money and done the same thing for him but instead chose to lose the client and tell him about this program. So it's gonna cost my cousin $185 total.
Thanks again for the advice though everyone.
