California Traffic Ticket Defense
Send us your traffic ticket. We’ll review it, call to discuss your options, and explain our fees before you decide whether to hire us.
Name, phone, email, and your ticket. We’ll ask about the details when we call.
How we can help
A traffic ticket can affect more than the fine. Depending on the charge and your record, a conviction may add DMV points, affect insurance costs, or create employment concerns for a professional driver.
We start by checking the violation, court, and deadline on your ticket. A clear photo of the front and back is usually enough to begin. We can ask about anything else during the follow-up call.
More serious allegations
Reckless-driving allegations, excessive-speed matters, and citations tied to a collision.
Commercial drivers
Review how a ticket could affect your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and your job.
Court representation
When permitted and appropriate, a lawyer may be able to go to court without you.

Documents that may help
Only your ticket and contact details are needed to start. Save these other records if you already have them.
- A readable copy of the front and back of the ticket
- Any reminder or courtesy notice from the court
- Photos, dashcam footage, or witness information you already have
- Your driving-history or commercial-license concerns
- Every due date, appearance date, or deadline shown on the paperwork
Common questions
What will it cost to hire the firm?
We review your ticket and explain our fees before you decide whether to hire us. Ask what is included and whether court fines, traffic-school fees, or other costs are separate. Sending your ticket does not commit you to hiring the firm.
Should I pay the ticket before speaking with a lawyer?
Paying a traffic ticket generally resolves it as a conviction. If you want to understand whether there is a basis to contest it or another available option, get advice before paying and before the listed deadline.
Can a lawyer go to court for me?
For many California traffic tickets, a lawyer may be able to appear without you. This depends on the charge and court. We can confirm after reviewing your ticket.
What if I never received a courtesy notice?
The citation itself still contains important court and deadline information. A courtesy notice may take time or may not arrive. Contact the court listed on the ticket or seek legal help rather than waiting past the date.
