Not a biggie, no need to hire a lawyer, the record stays for about 2 years(depending upon which state you are in). the court they say is not actually a court, they take money at a counter and let you go. Try to negotiate though, not worth filing a case. Insurance goes up but just a few bucks with just one ticket, may be (20 bucks per six month).
You may have an option to go to the driving class, may cost a little more but the point doesn't go to the record that way and the insurance doesn't go up.
To make you feel good I got more than one and it's not that bad.

Hope it helps.
