Dealing With The California Court System

Although improvements are being made that make it easier to pay your ticket online, don't expect much help from the California Court Systems unless you do plan on paying off your traffic ticket. The Court's mission is simply to provide information. Clerks are authorized to provide information regarding the procedures used by the Court to process a case. However, all clerks are prohibited by law (Government Code Section 24004) from giving legal advice to litigants or to assist them in filling out any forms, including forms provided by the Court.

The court clerk is not an attorney at law. The clerical staff is trained to accept papers for filing and has no expertise in the legal consequences of information included on any of the forms. In the Court's own words, "All persons seeking legal assistance from the Clerk's Office are to be redirected to an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California without naming any specific person or firm." In other words they simply advise you to get a lawyer. We strongly recommend that you hire an experienced attorney specializing in the field of traffic law. We are experts in the field and we know exactly what to do to help get your traffic citations dismissed. When working with us you don't have to deal with the Court Systems at all, we handle all of the details for you. Give us a call for a free consultation.
