If it's a point against your license and going to influence your  
insurance rate, hire a lawyer who specializes in traffic cases; they  
can sometimes find technicalities, and the bump up in your insurance  
costs a lot more long-term than the (usually) fixed fee such a lawyer  
charges.  If not, it's not worth your time, most likely.
