Jonathan Tishman could have just paid the $60. The traffic ticket, for improper use of high beams, didn’t carry points. Mark Zaid, an attorney better known for national security cases, paid a pro bono visit to traffic court for the 24-year-old’s citation.
Instead, Tishman jumped online and found an attorney who found the whole thing as overcooked as he did. And
“It’s about what’s right, what’s just, what’s fair,” Zaid said before the case was called, as he and TishmanZaid didn’t charge Tishman for the effort, estimating that at his usual billing rate of $600 an hour, he gave Tishman about $7,500 in free legal services. The allegations were thus: A slower-moving car, to his left, suddenly cut him off by veering right in front of him, according to Tishman. He hit his brakes and flashed his high beams twice — doing so to both to warn the driver and out of frustration, Tishman said in an interview.
“Flashing high beams when you are too close to another vehicle can be distracting. It can evoke an unintended reaction from another driver, and it can actually make a situation more dangerous,” said the spokeswoman, Elena Russo., when he himself was ticketed for flashing his lights to thank another driving for warning him of what he viewed as a speed trap. He won when a county officer didn’t come to court because he’d been called out for military duty.
