Questions
What traffic violations do you handle?
We defend all California traffic tickets including speeding, red light cameras, suspended licenses, DUI, and commercial vehicle violations. Our expertise covers both infractions and misdemeanors across Southern California courts.
Will I need to appear in court?
No. Under Penal Code 977, our attorneys make all court appearances for you. You'll receive mailed updates throughout the process without needing to attend hearings personally.
What are your legal fees?
Basic traffic ticket defense starts at $99. Misdemeanor representation begins at $299. Out-of-county cases start at $225. We provide free initial consultations to discuss your specific case requirements.
Can you handle old unresolved tickets?
Yes. We contest old tickets and associated civil assessments. Our attorneys often secure dismissals when evidence has been lost due to age, and resolve DMV license holds from past violations.
Do you guarantee ticket dismissal?
No ethical attorney can guarantee outcomes. However, our proven track record shows success in most cases through dismissals, reduced penalties, or traffic school eligibility preservation for eligible clients.
How does trial by written declaration work?
We submit legal arguments and evidence for judicial review without court attendance. If unsuccessful, we can request a new trial with fresh judicial review while avoiding officer confrontation during the initial process.
