I can’t say enough about this service.

Like many, I felt really unsettled with the officer’s decision to issue me a citation for a rolling stop just down the street from my house. I was asked if I had any prior violations, I mentioned only a fix-it ticket for my tints which was *visibly* removed. He looks at me completely stunted and says “WOW, for tinted windows? That’s petty..” and still proceeded to write me up.
I considered the idea of just paying the ticket, but a point on my record? Definitely didn’t want that. I started scavenging online to find anything that could help and I came across Ticket Ninja (an agency a family member also used before and highly recommended). For the low price of $99 I thought what do I have to lose? Safe to say, Ticket Ninja helped me out. The process was so easy and and questions or concerns I had were sent their way and they were very responsive and helpful. Mailed my TBD approximately a week before my trial date and received my notice of decision about a month later. NOT GUILTY!
Thank you Ticket Ninja! Highly recommend! 10/10

Absolutely worth every penny!!!! I just got back my decision and I am NOT GUILTY! Lol. I was honestly kind of sketch on the whole process bc I’ve never tried this, but after going through with it I’m 100% happy I did. The whole thing took about 2.5 months from the time I received the written declaration from The ticket ninja guys, to the decision smiled from the court. I’m most definitely going to recommend them to any and all the people I can. Thanks again ticket ninja.

I received my first red light camera ticket recently. About a month before sending in my notice information to the Ticket Ninja, did some research. I went to their site to get my ticket reviewed, then followed their clear and easy instructions online, making it easy.
Pictures or it didn’t happen, they say. It worked out for me!! Thank You Ticket Ninja for helping out a fellow driver. Like a true Ninja!

Got my ticket dismissed. Ticket Ninja is real deal. Thanks.
The process is straight forward. Ticket Ninja helped to draft a Trail by declaration based on my ticket.
And then helped me to use a traffic code to explain situations on TBD. After the court received my TBD. I just have to wait until the verdict.
It took me 4 to 5 months to get response from court.
And great to have this being dismissed.

Good to be true but I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised with a letter from the court saying that my ticket was dismissed. John is amazing and very responsive. I highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend John because he will let you know from the beginning what would be the probable outcome depending on your situation.

First and foremost, they did help me won the traffic ticket I received last October.
Secondly, by enlisting professional help from Ticket Ninja, it gives me the confidence that I am presenting the facts that matters in the correct context and language, so the court judge can understand what actually happened.
Third, Ticket Ninja streamline their application process very nicely on their website, so it is very intuitive and easy to complete the application form to enlist their support with your case online. Not to mention that they are very responsive to answer all my questions within one business day after I sent them the questions via email. In my case, they had all the form/documents and followup instructions provided to me in about a week’s time. Which truly exceeded my expectation in this department. haha
Overall, I value their service very much and would recommend them to anyone who is having a headache dealing with their traffic tickets.

I used Ticket Ninja for a 21460.5(c) violation (driving in a turn lane for over 200 feet) and I was unsure how well it would work as the cop who pulled me over seemed sure I had been there for over 200 feet, even though I was quite sure I had not. Even when my Trial by Declaration letter arrived, I was worried because it excluded some of the details of my situation (cop pulled me over from in front of me, not behind). However, Ticket Ninja must really know what they’re doing because my ticket was dismissed. They also answered all my questions through the process (this was my first ticket, so I was a little confused and had a LOT of questions) and advised me how to proceed. They also had a fair price in comparison to other similar services. I would definitely recommend giving Ticket Ninja a try!
Having the Trial by Declaration letter is nice, too, because if I’m ever in this situation again (and I hope I’m not) I’ll know how to write one myself.

I received a ticket back in September in DTLA right outside my work. I was trying to make a left turn and all of sudden a pedestrian started crossing the street while the timer was counting and I turned while the pedestrian was walking.
I was researching how to fight the ticket when I saw an ad for Ticket Ninja. I read all the positive reviews and it made me hopeful especially with the money back guarantee policy.
I gave Ticket Ninja a call and John was very professional and guided me through the process. He sent a very detailed e-mail explaining step by step on what to do.
I received a not guilty decision with the court today and my bail amount of $238 will be refunded to me. Ticket Ninja saved me some money and I won’t get a point on my license.
I’m so grateful for your service and will recommend all my friends and family!

True Cost of a Traffic Ticket?
Depending on your insurance company, your driving record, and the type of the new violation, the true cost of a traffic ticket can be as much as FIVE TIMES the fine amount for the ticket. This can be true EVEN IF you pay off the ticket in full, and do traffic school to remove the moving violation point.
This is why it is best to fight every ticket. When you win the ticket will completely disappear, and it will not affect your driving record or your insurance rate.
Why should I fight?

Trial by Declaration FAQ
At Ticket Ninja, we have a ZERO SPAM Policy. We will respond to your enquiry only one time, and only to subsequent enquiries YOU make to us. We will not SPAM you, and we will not initiate any phone calls to you, UNLESS you ask us to call you.
With TBD, you do not have to go to court. Officers do not receive extra pay to do the extra paperwork required for Trial by Declaration, and when they do not submit the declaration on time, the court automatically dismisses your case. It is also easier to fully present your defense in writing compared to a court trial. Additionally, with TBD you have 2 chances to win, instead of just one, if you go straight to a court trial. You can still request for traffic school even if you lose the TBD, and the court will usually allow it.
Ticket Ninja prepares each TBD defense by hand and we do not use any automated software to generate the TBD defense. Each TBD defense is custom made based on the information you provide to us. If anything is not clear, we will contact you personally and get additional information from you, before we finalize the defense paperwork.
You just need to print it out, sign it, and mail to the court with the bail payment(equal to the fine amount). When we send the prepared TBD to you by email, we will include detailed instructions on how to submit the defense package to the court. If you have any questions, just reply back to our email with the questions you have. We respond to every email that we receive in a timely manner.
On the average, it will take about 2 to 3 months, for the court to send you a Notice of Decision letter. During Covid-19, it may take a little longer.
Once you have received a “Not Guilty” or “Dismissed” verdict on the TBD, there is nothing more you need to do. The court will send out a refund check for the full bail amount to you within 60 days, and you will have no points on your record and no need to do traffic school.
Many courtesy notices will not mention TBD, or they are written in such a way that many people will think that they are not eligible to use TBD. As long as your ticket is not a midemeanor ticket(DUI, wreckless driving, etc), by California law you may use TBD. Even for over 100 mph tickets, you can still use TBD, as long as you ask for TBD at the mandatory appearance.
It is sad that it seems that many courts actively discourage people from using the Trial by Declaration process. However, this is understandable given that this process requires a lot more paperwork and manpower for the court to administer.
Traffic School FAQ
Even if you lose the Trial by Declaration(TBD), you may still request traffic school, and usually the court will allow it.
The courts make a $64 traffic school referral fee whenever they allow you to take traffic school.
The judges will have discretionary powers to allow you to take traffic school and they will often do that, if you make a request. The court also makes a traffic school court referral fee of $64 when they allow you to take traffic school.
The court fee for traffic school is usually $64 for most courts.
Online traffic schools typically charge around $10 to $20. They are very easy to find on the internet by just doing a search for “California online traffic school”. Most people can complete the full online course in 1 to 3 hours. The school will notify the court, once you have completed the course.
The traffic school fee should not be paid at this stage since your ticket may get dismissed. Also, payment of the traffic school fee at this stage may confuse the court clerk into thinking that you are pleading guilty in your case. This does not mean that you cannot include request for traffic school language in the TBD write-up.
