No court appearance required: You can fight your traffic ticket entirely by mail, saving time and avoiding the hassle of going to court.
High dismissal rate: Since officers don’t earn extra pay for completing the additional paperwork, many fail to submit their written statements on time—leading to automatic case dismissal.
Easier to prepare your defense: You can carefully write and review your statement, include supporting evidence, and clearly explain your side of the story without courtroom pressure.
Two opportunities to win: If the court rules against you in the TBD, you can request a Trial de Novo (a new in-person trial), giving you a second chance to fight the ticket.
Traffic school eligibility remains: Even if you lose both the TBD and the new trial, you may still qualify to attend traffic school to keep the violation off your record.
Why You Should Contest Your California Traffic Ticket
No risk, no penalty: Fighting your ticket won’t increase your fine. The court doesn’t punish you for defending yourself—it’s your legal right to contest the citation.
You pay either way—so why not fight? If you simply plead guilty, you’ll still owe the full fine plus traffic school fees (if you choose to attend). Contesting gives you a chance to avoid paying altogether.
Affordable and risk-free: Our $99 service fee includes a 100% money-back guarantee—you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
It feels amazing to win: There’s no better feeling than successfully beating a ticket and keeping your record clean.
Still eligible for traffic school: Even if you lose the Trial by Declaration, you can usually still attend traffic school to prevent points from appearing on your driving record.
Full Refund Promise
We stand by our service with complete confidence. If your ticket isn’t dismissed and your fine remains unchanged after both the Trial by Declaration and the New Trial (Trial de Novo), you’ll receive a full refund of your fee.
