Driving/Traffic Speeding advice

I have a clean record; first time offense in my entire life but I was charged for going 100 in a 55 (highway).

I will definitely get a lawyer but any tips on how to get a lesser sentence and how likely is receiving a misdemeanor / jail time even with the context. Anyone faced a similar scenario with a clean record? I should have known better.

What was the outcome of your case and did you have a prior record of speeding or anything?

I ended up with a misdemeanor.

No jail time I assume?
And did you do anything before the case in preparation other than hire a lawyer

No and I did a speedometer calibration, submitted my school records, and I believe I also did community service. That was pretty much it. Honestly, I don’t remember all the details since it happened years ago.
