When I was 16 I got a ticket going 84-45 and is all I had to do was pay a $500+ ticket. Didn't have to see a judge or anything but I live in CA. I know every state is different. That really sucks that they are making her see a judge. Hopefully you get a nice judge that lets your wife off easy! I don't think you'll need a lawyer but def never hurts just in case. Just sucks to pay for one.
