Thank you! But it looks like he only handles the OC. I’m in LA so if anybody has referals, please keep them coming.

Thanks man.

Not yet. Got it last week.

I’m eligible for traffic school, but if I can get it dismissed without burning through a traffic school free pass (you can only go once every 18 months), it’s worth a shot.

Is he related to the Ball family? lol

I’ll have to remember that name. I used a guy in Simi and got it down to a non-moving violation, so no point.

you really don't need a lawyer yet.

file as many extensions allowed (1 or 2). then TBD. if found guilty, request trial de novo then hire a lawyer.

Thanks. I didn’t realize you can request a trial de novo after losing a TBD. I’ll have to look into that.

I would do the extensions for sure, but not sure about the TBD. You don't want to piss off the cop enough where you hire a lawyer and not only he shows up, but will not make a deal because you made him do all this paperwork and you wasted money hiring the lawyer. lol

Fair point. I’ll consult with the lawyer about that. For the cost of the lawyer, I’m willing to let an expert handle it.

Cited for 70 in a 50 in violation of the basic speed law. Ticked says speed is estimated, so I’m not sure if he used radar. I think I have some defenses.

Well, you should fight any ticket. You have various options to do so, so not using it is just a waste IMHO. It’s the point that you want to get rid of. If I have to pay a fine, whatever. I just don’t want the point and waste my traffic school. Some tickets are easier to fight, so you never want to take a chance. Say the first one you get is an easy one to fight, but you don’t and you take traffic school. Then by chance you get another within 18 months. Now YOU HAVE TO fight it since it’s within 18 months. And say this ticket will be harder to fight even if you hire a lawyer. Now you’re screwed and will have the point show up on your record for 3 years and your insurance will likely go up during that entire time. Now you regret not fighting the first one where you could have saved your traffic school for the 2nd ticket.

Might even get lucky with the damned court never receiving the documents, they have 1 year SOL though to file.
