I tried asking ChatGPT, but I still didn’t know what forms to use or what to mail. @ClerkHero made it feel more organized.

I was ready to just pay it, but I didn’t understand what it would do to my insurance. @ClerkHero helped me slow down and see my options first.

The court paperwork and deadlines were honestly the most stressful part for me. @ClerkHero simplified everything into steps I could actually follow without feeling lost.

It felt less stressful having everything broken into steps instead of trying to decode the ticket on my own.
Before you pay
It's not just the fine.
A traffic ticket can affect more than today’s payment. Before you decide, check the things that usually matter most.
Points on your DMV record
A moving violation can affect your California driving record.
Possible insurance increase
The fine is not always the most expensive part of the ticket.
Traffic school eligibility
Violation type, timing, and court approval can change what is available.
Court response deadline
Missing the response window can create a bigger problem than the ticket.
Written declaration fit
Some tickets may qualify for a Trial by Written Declaration packet.
Built for common California traffic tickets
ClerkHero can review many California infractions, including speeding, red light, stop sign, cell phone, unsafe lane change, failure to yield, carpool lane, and equipment-related tickets.

Questions?
Do I need to download an app?+
No. ClerkHero works directly from your browser. You can upload your ticket, review your options, and prepare your documents online without downloading anything.
Is ClerkHero a law firm?+
No. ClerkHero is self-help document preparation software. We organize ticket information, prepare documents when eligible, and provide filing instructions. We do not provide legal advice or represent you in court.
What happens after I upload my ticket?+
ClerkHero reviews your ticket details, court deadline, violation code, and possible next steps before you decide whether to prepare a packet.
Will I have to go to court?+
Many California traffic infractions can be handled through Trial by Written Declaration, which is done by mail instead of an initial court appearance. Availability depends on your ticket and court.
Can I still attend traffic school if I fight my ticket?+
Possibly. Traffic school depends on your violation, driving record, timing, and court approval. ClerkHero helps flag potential traffic school risks before you decide your next step.
What happens if my ticket doesn’t get dismissed?+
Every ticket is different. If an eligible ticket is not dismissed after using ClerkHero, our refund policy may apply. We show the details before payment so you can make an informed decision.
How much does it cost?+
ClerkHero charges a flat $79 fee. This includes your document preparation, filing instructions, mailing guidance, and follow-up steps. No subscriptions or hidden fees.
What is Trial by Written Declaration?+
Trial by Written Declaration (TR-205) is a California process that lets you contest certain traffic infractions entirely by mail instead of appearing in court.
Why should I use ClerkHero?+
Because paying a ticket without checking the consequences can be expensive. ClerkHero helps you understand deadlines, traffic school risk, insurance impact, and written declaration options before you decide.
