What is Mitigation?
Mitigation is another way of asking the judge to lower the fine but keep the citation
the same. For example, if you got a Seattle speeding ticket,
mitigation would lower the fine you have to pay but you'd still be found guilty
of speeding. We rarely pursue mitigation because it doesn't accomplish most people
want - no traffic ticket all or a reduction in charges to a nonmoving violation.

What is Deferral?
A deferral is the process of getting your traffic citation dismissed after a period
of compliance with traffic laws. Usually the judge will find you guilty, suspend
the finding, and impose a probationary period of one year. If you don't get any
more tickets within that year the ticket will be dismissed. The problem is, this
can only be used once every seven years. We pursue deferrals only as a last resort.

What is a Contested Hearing?
A contested hearing is another way to say a trial on your Seattle ticket. These
are always tried to the judge who usually makes a decision quickly after hearing
all of the evidence.

Should I do a Contested Hearing by Mail?
You have the option of doing the contested hearing by mail, which means submitting
a written explanation for why you should be found not guilty. We strongly discourage
this. First, without the knowledge and experience of a Seattle traffic attorney,
you will probably not be able to adequately persuade the judge to dismiss your ticket.
Second, by submitting your explanation in writing you don't have a chance to question
any witnesses or rebut the prosecutor's argument.

Can I Talk My Way Out of a Seattle Traffic Ticket?
Generally no. When you are pulled over by a Seattle police officer he usually knows
if he is going to write you a ticket before he talks to you. If you try to explain
your ticket you do one very bad thing - give them all the evidence they want to
convict you at a contested hearing. It is best to remain calm, give the officer
your information, and remain silent until you've had a chance to consult with a
Seattle traffic ticket lawyer.

What Can I Do About a Red Light Camera Ticket?
If you weren't driving at the time you may be able to get the ticket dismissed.
It is also important to note, however, that a red light camera ticket is not a moving
violation and does not affect your car insurance. It is treated like a parking ticket
in that respect.
