Tips on Fighting a Ticket:
- Notify the Court – Depending on where you obtained your violation, you will either appear at the Traffic Violations Bureau or the local courthouse.
- Take Action – Be sure to take action within 30 days of receiving the ticket. Those that fail to pay or plead not guilty can have their license suspended.
- Hire a Lawyer – An experienced traffic violations lawyer can help minimize your consequences and keep you on the road.
- Pleading Your Case – During the hearing, the judge will listen and accept evidence from both you and the police officer who cited you. Unless the judge finds “clear and convincing evidence,” you will be found not guilty.
