My question involves a reckless driving ticket from the State of: PA

I was cited for speeding 76 in a 35 and also given a second ticket
on the same stop for reckless driving in the state of Pennsylvania.

I have had a clean driving record until this mistake. What are the
advantages of hiring a lawyer versus throwing myself at the mercy
of the court?

I do want to attempt to plead down the reckless as it carries a six
month suspension.

Also, if convicted do they give me points for both tickets?
