I need a referral to an Orange County traffic atty

We live in Del Mar and my wife has used this gal twice. Won both times. Never had to show in court. She will drag it thru the courts and although is takes a few months she usually gets them dismissed on some technicality. The good news is she only charges $50 per deal. ( I'm not kidding) I have also had numerious friends use her with success. Here is her contact info.

By the way I see you have had a GT3 RS in your past. I just bought one last week. On the way from Ohio. I'm looking forward to this one.

Best of luck on your ticket. John C

 

Yes it a 2011 3.8L White/Red 11000 miles. Should be interesting. Haven't had a P-car for years. Thanks John

 

The Laguna Niguel Sheriff motor officers are notorious for their aggressive ticket writing. I've spoken with other officers in the department and even they say the motors are chicken s**t. They usually sit on Crown Valley or Alicia(with wide open roads and little side traffic and a traffic flow always over the limit) and pop folks for speed. Easy to turn around and they just keep writing speed tickets in both directions. I wouldn't complain so much if they worked the intersections(where everyone blows the left turn and red lights) but they won't do that because it requires work and they can't produce the same numbers of cites. Unusual that he didn't have radar and even though most courts recognize traffic officers as experts in speed estimation, that will help your case.
Good luck with your case.

 

Shoot me your email and you can send you some some docs on how to go about a trial by declaration. No court time and pretty straight forward.

and all of this cost how much? $50??

I'm going to avoid Laguna Niguel for a while...I think any red Ferrari is a target. LOL

 

This made my day.

 

Great outcome!

 

Thanks for the follow up!

 

Congrats on giving him the slip!

 

Nice!

 

So "my friend" got written up for 90 in a 65 as he legally passed a car in holiday traffic going through LA on 12/30 - the start of a holiday weekend. Average speed on the 405 at the time was about 45mph. The ticket still isn't posted on the traffic court web site.

Do I tell my friend to just pay it and be thankful traffic school keeps it off his record, or take a chance and fight it using the suggestions in this thread?

I had a so so experience with the Ticket Clinic (mentioned above) FWIW. A dubious school zone ticket got "reduced" to coasting out of gear (ever hear of that one, especially in an automatic, me either!). It avoided traffic school but still hit insurance.

 

BOOM! Nice!

 

My turn! This is a bit north of OC but I received a speeding ticket (on Christmas day!) on Sunset in Beverly Hills for doing 71 in a 35 zone. However, the cop "liked my demeanor and attitude" and reduced it to 66 since 71 is more than double the posted speed limit and would've made me ineligible for traffic school. Here's the rub: I received another speeding ticket (in another car) about 6 months ago and did traffic school for that one so I'm unable to do it again within 18 months. I can live with the fine but would like to avoid the point on my license. These are my first speeding tickets in about 5-6 years - should I fight this one or am I basically screwed??

 

Hey Wolfturbo
Just read your post. Now that put a big smile on my face !!!
The other thing all you guys should do is check with your local cops or sheriff dept and see if they have a organization like we do in San Diego. Ours is called Honorary Deputy Sheriffs
Assoc. Local business guys that drop a little $$ annually to our sheriff dept. ( My dues $300 per year) They use the money for K9, shooting range , and lots of stuff not in their budget.

 

Sorry i didn't finish. You receive a badge probably similar to the 1199 guys at the CHP but much more reasonable. If anyone needs help in SD reach out and let me know.
By the way Wolf, I took delivery of the GT3 RS and I must say its a amazing car.

 

General rule is if you qualify for traffic school, you should pay the ticket and not fight it to avoid the risk. If its your second ticket and traffic school doesn't apply, I would call Elizabeth or play the Trial by Declaration game and hope for the best!

 

Thank you - that's where I'm at.

shawdut,

18 months is not a strict rule about multiple attendances of traffic school. It is up to the judge, and you may have to pay a higher "traffic school fee", but you very well may be able to do it again.

Guys,

Thanks for all the feedback and recommendations! I may call Elizabeth and see what she says....
