Trial by Written Declaration
Start fighting your traffic ticket in under a minute
So you got a traffic ticket. Welcome to the club. You probably don’t know it, but your ticket is just one of over 5,000,000 tickets written every year in California. And, of that huge number, only a small percentage will ever be contested.
Sure, you’re angry at the officer for pulling you over and you’re annoyed at yourself for doing whatever it is the officer pulled you over for in the first place. And, of course, you’re plenty mad about all of the time and money this ticket is going to cost you. But the real question is what are you going to do about it?
What is Trial by Written Declaration?
Well, what if there was a better way to fight your traffic ticket in California. What if there were a system that provided drivers all of their exact same rights under the law to contest a traffic ticket, but also did not cost you precious time and money? Wouldn’t that be great? Well, we have good news for you. There is such a system, and it’s called a “Trial by Written Declaration.”
A Trial by Declaration provides you the opportunity to contest your case in court without actually having to go to court. It’s almost like winning the lottery. You can say everything you want to say without the fear of the judge throwing you out of the courtroom – because you never even have to go to court. This is a real court trial, just in written form instead of in person.
Drivers complete the documents and submit them to the court by mail instead of going into court to contest the traffic ticket in person. The Trial by Written Declaration process is the best way to contest a traffic ticket in California and eliminates the need for you to waste your time fighting your ticket in court.
