How Tickets Gone works
You can hire an attorney for your traffic ticket without an office visit. Here is what happens from the photo to the court.
1. Snap a photo of your ticket
Start with your mobile number, then take a picture of your citation. A PDF works too. The system reads the court, the violation and the dates from the photo, so you do not have to type them in.
2. See your flat fee and sign
Your price shows on screen before you commit. Most tickets start at $52; some violations cost more, and you see that before you sign. You sign your agreement with the firm online. Court fines and costs, if any, are separate from the firm's fee.
Some tickets need an attorney to look first, for example commercial driver (CDL) tickets, tickets from an accident or tickets with a warrant. If yours is one of them, the firm's team calls you instead of quoting on screen.
3. Pay, and the firm takes it from there
Pay securely online. The firm sends the court a letter of representation, which tells the court an attorney now handles your case, and works toward the best available result for your ticket. You get updates by text or email.
What the attorney can do
Every ticket and every court is different. Depending on the facts, options can include a dismissal, a deferred disposition, a driving safety course, a reduced charge, or a trial. The firm explains the options for your ticket; no outcome is promised.
