Never met anyone from this office, I think I found them here on Yelp, but they got me a better outcome than I probably could have gotten myself. Anyway, got a failure to stop ticket (I stopped, but maybe 1 to 1.5 car lengths in advance of the stop line and the cop was hidden in the trees almost a block up the cross street - his view was blocked by the giant electrical boxes and trees at that spot, so it looked to him and on the video he showed me that I rolled through the stop) and he was so far away that the line of sight to the intersection was broke before he even appeared in my rear view with his lights on. I knew I had stopped and asked the officer for a warning and he laughed at me and said "not today" then went on to say how he was out there because people "blow through" the 4 way stops in De Luz all the time and that even he and his family get tickets, no one is exempt. He had half his lunch down the front of his shirt, so I guess he was having a bad day. I paid the ticket and did a written declaration, got found guilty anyway, so I requested a trial de novo, which of course was scheduled on a day I'd be out of town and I mis-read the notice for rescheduling which had to be done so many business days in advance (and my brain calculated it out as calendar days) - I was trying to stretch it out as long as possible because I got a new car and was worried that my insurance would be checking my driving record some time soon, so tried to do it on the last day possible, which was then too late. Also I have a Washington state license and they don't accept traffic school in lieu of a hit on my license. Enter Ticket King. I explained the situation and got clarification from someone on the chat who was super helpful and submitted all my info and explained what happened, but got the sense it didn't matter much to them since they never responded, asked questions, or followed up with me when I offered to get photos from the officer's perspective of how my car coming to a stop would have been out of his line of sight, so I didn't have high hopes for much of a fight. A couple days after my court date I get a call from someone at this office and they explained that the officer showed up and seemed like he had a good case (his word against mine, of course the officer comes out on top) but I don't think they explained to him I stopped early and he couldn't see me to give him a chance to consider that may have possibly happened and change his mind. They also said the didn't know if he had a video or not (clearly didn't ask or read my ticket, bc the officer hand wrote at the bottom of the ticket "HAVE VIDEO"), but didn't want to fight it and lose (I appreciate that), so settled for something like failure to obey a traffic device or something like that. The fine I paid for the ticket (I believe $238) would cover the cost of that ticket and it would be considered a non-moving violation. I paid $149 for the legal defense. In the end I'm satisfied and it was worth the cost because it won't end up on my driving record, but still peeved that the officer wouldn't consider that he may not have been correct and concede that maybe from his super sneaky spot that he couldn't actually see the entire approach to the stop sign at least to make it questionable enough to issue me a warning instead of a ticket. I'd have been happier to get my ticket fine refunded, but this was still a better outcome than having my insurance rates go up for 3 years. read more
