“Dear Steve. As I said over the phone, all my counts were dismissed and they are refunding me the $436, I sent through you to the court. You people did a great job and I thank you for your skills in handling these matters.”

To make the ordeal of getting traffic violations in California as stress-free as possible, we have compiled the following list of Frequently Asked Questions. For some folks who are not ’veterans’ at navigating the court system here in California, we hope this helps!

So I just got a traffic violation, what now?

There is no fine amount listed, just a court date. Look at the fine print (especially on the back of the traffic violation). If you do not find the information you are looking for regarding on the ticket, traffic violations always have some sort of contact information printed on them for the courts. Do not be afraid to call the court, they can actually be pretty helpful for general questions and it does not represent an admission of guilt just by making a phone call.

I cannot read what is on the Traffic Violation, what do I do?

Many of us have gotten frustrated after that cop pulls away and ‘crumpled’ up traffic violations only to find later that it is now almost impossible to read all the fine print and handwritten notes. Don’t worry! A “Notice to Appear” will be sent shortly to the address listed with your Driver’s License at DMV. You can also call the court listed on the ticket and they can clarify any information and expedite the mailing of the Notice to Appear.

What If I Believe the Cop was Wrong and I Want to Fight the Traffic Violation?

Many drivers have received traffic violations that they believe are false and ‘want their day in court’. It is quite simple. Simply call the court and say that you want to contest it. Or, on the day that you are supposed to show up at court, simply tell them that you would like to have a trial. However, did you know that, with our process, you may never need to end up in court at all?  We strive to get your traffic violation dismissed (using a process that includes a “Trial by Written Declaration”) rather than having our clients contest their traffic tickets in court. Simply give us a call at 800.850.8038.

We hope this information has helped. If you need more in-depth answers, feel free to contact us or visit our site and click on the full FAQs link on our site. Have something to add? We would appreciate your feedback. we sincerely wish you good luck with your traffic violations!

It is always so nice to receive notes like the following. As we get these compliments on our traffic ticket document filing service, we will continue to share them with you….

Dear Ticketbust,

I have always been somewhat skeptical when it comes to “money back guarantees”. My level of trust was still active and raw after receiving a speeding ticket, purchasing an $60 Fight your ticket book and then searching the web for information.
I had several replies from scammers in Zimbabwe to people proclaiming to be “experts in the industry of getting rid of tickets”. And the book basically said hire a lawyer or you are scr–ed !!!
Your site seemed honest and straight to the point.
I enlisted your services, someone; “a live person” called me soon after. I followed your instructions to the letter; called to check on “my ticket status” several times. (your staff always pleasant and answered any questions I had).
I have just received my fine amount, bail, back from the local court……which means; I was informed by the nice young lady in your office..(Amanda)…….I WON well you WON on my behalf.
You folks are the BEST……………Thank You Soooooooooooo much
Best to you all at TICKETBUST …and give Amanda, Christina and Steven a raise or at least diner and drinks !!!
Thank you sooo much,
Gary T., El Sobrante Ca.

Steve Miller, CEO of Ticket Busters of California announces Their Launch of ‘Fight Scandalous Sites’ Campaign

Recently Ticket Busters of California has become victim to a growing revenue scam on the Internet via a popular complaint site. “After investigating our options to rebut the complaint, our staff was astonished to find that there is a growing trend over the Internet of site like these; those allowing anyone to post a negative comment about any business or individual,” explained Steven Miller, CEO for Ticket Busters. With that information, Ticket Busters decided to launch a ‘Fight Scandalous Sites’ Campaign.

Miller goes on to say that, “our staff found limited ways to combat the complaints and other negative comments, other than to pay the site owner to contest the complaint or ‘monitor’ their site for removal of these comments”. While these sites do not charge any fee for the posting of these potentially scandalous comments, they charge the business or individual whom the complaint was lodged against. Also, these sites do not verify the legitimacy of the commandant or make any attempt to verify the legitimacy of the complaint. Ticket Busters found numerous stories from other business owners about postings that turned out to be from competititors or disgruntled ex-employees that were simply trying to bring negative attention to the business.

Ticket Busters of California decided that it was important to bring public awareness to this revenue generating and slanderous practice. In their campaign release, Ticket Busters pleads with the general consumer to, “please be careful not to believe everything you read on the Internet. Here is an example of a very popular complaint site and the lawsuits being brought against the company for allowing anyone to write anything:

http://rorandg.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/rip-off-report-founder-ed-magedson-internet-extortionist/

“ The campaign goes on to add, “did you know, as an example that a good amount of the activity on these sites are either shakedown artists or complaints initiated by competition? Help us in our efforts at Ticketbust.com to put an end to erroneous and misguided complaints by not clicking on the negative postings of these sites in the search engine results. The more clicks they get, the more popular these scandalous sites become. We want to annihilate these scandalous sites from the legitimate listings of Google and other search engines”.

If you would like to discuss your concerns with our CEO directly, please call 800.850.8038 or post a comment here.

About Ticket Busters of California: Ticket Busters (ticketbust.com), located in Westlake Village, California, was founded in 2004 by Steven F. Miller. This service has assisted tens of thousands of Californians with filing the necessary paperwork to dismiss their traffic tickets. Ticket Busters (ticketbust.com) was originally created to alleviate the tedious and time-consuming process of attempting to contest a traffic ticket on your own. Mr. Miller wanted to create a fully automated and user-friendly online service for California drivers to submit their traffic ticket information and process the necessary documents. Unfortunately, there will always be a small percent of people that are unhappy and are free to post whatever they like, whether it is true or not, on unsavory sites like complaints.com, etc. Of this small percent of our client base, we have found that many of those did not read our Money Back Guarantee Terms and Conditions, which we encourage our website visitors to do throughout the site. We also always strongly encourage clients to give us their feedback directly so that we can work to resolve their issues. In five years, we have processed over 12,000 tickets for our clients and are a member in excellent standing with the Better Business Bureau.

We have recently received two more client testimonials (unsoliciated by our staff) from customers who are thrilled with our service (below)  It is an honor to be ackwlowledged by our clients and we would welcome the chance to do the same for you if you are faced with a traffic ticket, speeding ticket, red light tickets, cell phone violation or red light camera ticket.  Feel to free to give our staff a call at 800.850.8058, or provide your ticket information online at http://ticketbust.com/beattraffictickets/fight-a-traffic-ticket.html :)

Dear Ticket Busters of California,
I just wanted to let you know I received a court response today on my ticket# T694669. They judged me not guilty and are sending me back my $202 ticket bail.   I don’t know how you did it but thank you. I am very impressed. I suspect we will be talking again in the future, but hopefully not for some time.
Sincerely,
  
Michael W., Orange County

————and this one from Jim in San Diego———–

Dear Steven,
I have received the TR-215 Decision and Notice of Decision.  I am absolutely astonished by the court decision of Dismiss.  The personal check was cashed some time ago, so I thought that it was all over.  Now the clerk of the court has to reimburse me for the check amount.  I just want to say that because of your unique method of articulating the facts; you have proven that your company, The Original Ticket Busters, does do exactly what it is suppose to do.  I am so pleased with the outcome and the fact that my unblemished driving record in California will remain clean.  If there is a recommendation that I may be able to make with respect to the success of your company, please let me know.  So I just want to say thank you very much!

Best regards,
Jim K., San Diego

On May 6th, 2009, Steve Miller, CEO of Ticket Busters of California was invited as a representative traffic ticket expert on the #1 Northern California Radio Talk Station, KRXA 540 (AM) and Energy 92.7 Pure Dance (FM).  The topic of the show was Highway Robbery.

After some technical difficulty at the beginning of the show, the topics of discussion included an incident in Texas where a police officer demanded thousands of dollars in cash for a driver he had cited.  The man had in excess of $8,000 in cash as he was on his way to purchase a new vehicle.  The case has sparked discussions all over the country about traffic tickets. 

The remainder of the show was dedicated to California-related traffic tickets, violations, horror stories and informative facts Steve Miller shares about the current state of law enforcement in California and how demand for increased revenue plays a role in traffic tickets.
