What Smart Drivers Do
They Don’t Just Pay the Fine — They Fight It.
Keep Your Record Clean
That one ticket? It doesn’t go away. It follows you. Fight it now, and you won’t have to explain it later — to your insurer, your boss, or anyone else who runs a background check.
Save Money You’ll Never See Again
Even a single ticket on your record can lead to painful insurance premium increases. A single ticket could raise your insurance by $36/month for 30 months. That’s over $1,000 lost — when you could’ve fought it for less than the cost of gas for the month.
No Traffic School
Traffic school isn’t “no big deal.” It’s hours of your life watching dry videos, answering boring quizzes, and paying yet another fee — all just to keep your record clean. When you fight your ticket the smart way, you skip the school and keep your weekend.
Get Off Easier Next Time
Cops look at your record. If it’s spotless, they’re more likely to let you go with a warning. If it’s not… expect the opposite. Keeping your record clean today helps you tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Trial by Written Declaration?
A Trial by Written Declaration is a legal process in California that allows you to contest your traffic ticket in writing instead of appearing in court. You submit your defense arguments via mail, and the judge reviews your case without requiring your physical presence.
Do I still need to pay the court fine?
Yes, you must pay the full bail amount upfront when filing your Trial by Written Declaration. However, if you win your case, the court will refund the entire amount. If you lose, you can request a new trial (trial de novo) for a second chance.
Can I use this in all California counties?
Yes! Trial by Written Declaration is available in every California county court. Our system automatically customizes your defense kit for your specific court and violation type, ensuring compliance with local rules and procedures.
What types of tickets can you help with?
We can help with most traffic violations including speeding, red light camera tickets, stop sign violations, cell phone tickets, and other moving violations. However, we cannot assist with DUI charges, reckless driving, or cases requiring mandatory court appearances.
