If you get a lawyer, make sure you don't spend too much on him. basically, you will have 3 points on your license if you are guilty for all 3. Two for the hundred plus, and one for the 65+. I am preeeeeety sure that 3 is the max allowed within either a year or 18 months. One of those points you can wipe off through traffic school which will cost about $130. Your insurance wont go up too much with the other 2 points.
If I were you, I would request a "trial by declaration." What happens is that you have a month or so to submit a written statement about the incident. It doesn't matter what you write because if the cop turns one in also, you are almost 100% guilty regardless of what you write. But, the good thing is that you have a good chance that the cop won't turn his in. I have an uncle who is a Highway Patrol and he told me this is the best thing to do. Even if you are found guilty with a trial by declaration, you can still set up a court date and fight it a second time.
btw, I was caught speeding in October and I did the trial by declaration thing. Worked like a charm

i had a friend who got 2 DUIs in a span of one month. (yes he was quite a moron). anyways, his lawyer was pretty good, got them to throw out one DUI. he won both dmv court cases, won 1 civil case but lost the other. had to wear an anklet bracelet for 3 months.
heres the lawyer details:-
William Kopensky
310-418-6864

. So this means you can go to traffic school for the first ticket since officially, you only have one ticket?

I also did a trial by declaration and completely BEAT-UP my case. (First speeding ticket ever)
Got my bail money back and everything. Included in my declaration was a nicely drawn diagram with chronological events.
The thing was I was only going 78 do overtake a van because my next freeway I had ot take was coming-up. The CHP bike cop was a total b1tch too. He had a huge power trip on me. I hope he realises his ticket was defeated.
