What you didn't even consider was all the other charges lawyers throw in on each and every single case.
They have to pay a guy to go down and file paperwork, secretaries all that overhead jazz...even the time he spent talking with you on the phone is included in that and they bill by the hour.
Also there might have been some postponements made which is how they do it in Texas...they just keep putting it off and putting it off until finally the state/city agrees to plea bargain it down or the officer doesn't show up to court that day and they dismiss it.
And you also need to consider how much he probably saved you in insurance costs over the next however many years due to you not getting any points...in the end $500 isn't shit.
