Well, after taking some time off from the weekly schedule, we are back again. This New Year has brought the usual number of new laws and changes to the vehicle code and we will try to keep you up to date as we have in the past. It also seems like the red light camera [...]
Well, here we are, a dozen years into the new century. Y2K is but a silly memory and people still say “the more things change the more they stay the same”. Not necessarily when it comes to the law. California has introduced a myriad of new laws, some 760 of them but we’ll only delve [...]
Yes I know, another song reference but it seems befitting at this time. If you are familiar with John Lennon’s lyrics then you will understand. Another year has gone by… no wait, that’s next week’s blog. Things have slowed down a bit as it usually does this time of the year. It doesn’t mean that [...]
If you recently received a traffic ticket in California don’t feel isolated, yours is one of approximately 16 million of the citations issued in the state annually. For most of us, the initial instinct is to try and fight it ourselves but once we get over the shock of how expensive these tickets are in [...]
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had a chance to visit and perhaps get into the usual arguments with you family, all in all… a terrific time. Here’s just a brief update on a blog we published a few weeks ago regarding amnesty for all of those “ticket holders” who had neglected to [...]

Aside from being inconsiderate it can be a very expensive ordeal not to mention a risk to your driving privilege. Take my good friend David (not really David but [...]
Probably not a good idea. As our firm begins expanding into more diverse areas of legal defense (more on this topic coming soon), one criminal offense which may be more egregious than any traffic ticket would be Driving Under the Influence… the dreaded DUI. Straddling the legal fence between traffic transgressions and more severe criminal [...]
The Traffic Ticket News Blog is one year old. We have posted 52 installments of traffic related news and information. I would like to thank my friends and colleagues who throughout the year have suggested topics and emailed me news bits that have eventually turned into blog postings. I enjoy writing the blog… coming up [...]
Well… you are not going to like this. If you are one of the 50,000 people who received a red light photo ticket in the city of Los Angeles and were under the false impression that paying such tickets was “voluntary” or that after the cameras were shut off on July 31, 2011 you could [...]
You may have heard that expression before and probably within various figurative contexts. The State of California means it literally.
