What are the terms for using this site?

Information only

The pages explain California traffic ticket rules in general terms. They are information, not legal advice. Your situation may differ from the examples.

No attorney-client relationship

Reading this site, using a tool or contacting the editorial team does not make anyone your lawyer. The site is not a law firm. An attorney-client relationship begins only when a lawyer agrees to represent you.

Accuracy is not warranted

The team checks pages against public sources and shows a last reviewed date. Laws, fines, fees and court procedures change, and a page may be out of date. The team does not warrant that any statement is complete, accurate or current.

Confirm any amount, deadline or procedure with your court or the DMV before you act.

Tool results are estimates

The ticket cost estimator gives an estimate. It does not include every charge that may apply, and it is not a quote from a court or an insurer. The amount on your notice controls.

Lawyer listings

The picks and the alphabetical list on the lawyers page are not rankings. They do not predict any result, and they are not endorsements of results. You choose and hire a lawyer yourself.

Third-party links

Links to courts, government agencies and firms lead to sites the team does not control. The team is not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for the decisions you make about your citation, including meeting your due date.

Changes

The team may change these terms. The review date shows when they were last checked. See the privacy policy and the disclaimer, or return to the home page.
