You have 30 days from the date on your ticket to respond. Don't wait! The sooner you act, the better your options.
Can I avoid going to court?
Yes! If we find defects in your ticket ($35 service), we file a motion to dismiss. For standard defense ($89), our attorneys appear for you. You stay home.
What's the real cost of just paying the ticket?
