I assume this was a criminal violation? 30+ in FL is a criminal violation with mandatory court appearance. If the officer testifies in court, has his radar documentation (certificate, test log, and calibration paperwork) in order, and gives his account, usually it's his/her word against the attorney who wasn't present.

Attorneys usually bargain with the officers to amend the speed to a lower number, have the fine reduced and request driver improvement school through the presiding judge, and likely plead no contest (neither guilty nor not guilty).

I have convicted an 85/35 with vehicle pacing (no radar, laser) with my testimony alone. Hopefully it works out for you.
