got a ticket in California for speeding...need advice on who to hire..pls help

Hire someone! I've recieved fix it tickets in California, corrected the stuff, got the ticket signed by Cal Dot officers, and then recieved threatening letters that my license would be suspended for not correcting the defects. Then when you finally get everything squared away, two years later you go and renew your license and discover there is a "hold" on your license preventing you from renewing. I'm not sure how Golden State civil servants even put their pants on in the morning. They are truly the definition of idiots.

I'm not experienced with TVC but I would definitely hire someone who can guide you through the process and provide a fall back when the letters come saying you didn't pay...didn't appear in court...etc.

In reality they write to many citations and have no way of keeping track of the gargantuious amount of fines they dish out. If you call a week or two after receiving a citation, they will usually tell you to call back in two months. It takes them that long to enter the info into the system.

 

Hire a local traffic attorney. You can google one. They know everyone in the particular courtroom.

A lot of them legal plans many times will do about the same thing and secure a local attorney. You just pay extra for a 3rd party.

 

Hire an attorney. ... he or she may be able to get the speed dropped or possibly the citation changed to something minor.

 

Good advice here! I have not yet gotten a ticket in Ca. and hope I won't but you never know. Thanks.

 

Thanks for your post OP- I run exclusively in Commufornia either on the 101, 5, or 99. Cruise at 62, but we all hit 65+ on occasion (thank God CHP aren't D-Bags on those dips along the Grapevine), glad to hear there are ways to mitigate not the fine, but the #### points and reason for the ticket. How much was it?

 

I used Roadlaw. OOIDA recommends them and they are a contributor to their Landline magazine and Satellite radio show. I ended up paying attorney and court costs, but I had my ticket amended to a lessor charge. I got a ticket for an incomplete log book versus the 15mph over.

I fell victim to own of their speed traps. The speed limit dropped from 55mph to 35mph and the only sign on the right hand of the road was blocked by another truck. I saw the second sign ahead and was in the process of slowing down when CHP nailed me. I pointed out the blocked sign and he informed that that happens all the time.

Good luck with your ticket. I see advertisements on billboards along that route for a "Mr. Ticket" and a "Seymore Law Firm" that help drivers with tickets. You can probably do a Google search for those two as well.

 

You can get away with 65 on the high desert on 8, 10, and 40 but no 99? Not a good idea!
