Here - you are defending against a very serious charge - reckless driving - which a skilled lawyer under these facts could likely defeat - a nonlawyer, however, does not know the rules of evidence, the case law that determines what foundation the state or the police officer must first provide in order for their opinion to be admissible, etc. Etc.
It's your money my friend - and I wish you the best - in my opinion reckless driving is a serious enough charge to warrant the expense of hiring a lawyer... Good luck!
