I just did a quick Google search and topics like this come up:

It sounds like you are unsure of yourself to self defend this one so get whoever you feel most comfortable with. If $2500 guy seems like he's confident that he makes it all go away and $750 guy seems unsure of himself, I'd be using $2500 guy.
The jail/prison thing seems unlikely unless you're a habitual offender so I'd be more worried about the long term of insurance going up if the reckless claim stays on your license. Speeding ticket will increase it too but everybody has a speeding
ticket and unless it's out of control getting them a lot, one isn't going to hurt that much.

Places I'd start for defending myself would be:

The tuning/maintenance of the radar gun(explanation link). Ask for literature provided by the manufacturer that explains how the device is properly used and maintained.
Ask the police department for maintenance records for the past six months to see if it was stored, maintained, and tuned properly.

Getting a copy of the cam footage from the police officer. If he tried a "dash cam footage magically is gone or wasn't on", that seems an easy win for you.

Ticket dismissal due to your good driving record.

Delay the court date. The longer time that goes by the less info the officer will remember and him not knowing small details will make you look that much better.

The officer issuing the ticket does not appear in court. Instant win for you but this is not what you rely on since it is a 50/50 this happens.

Are the signs for speed limit set up at the proper distances/places or any other small details that render the ticket or stop improper altogether. This is where a good lawyer will come in handy.
