The problem

The system bets you'll just pay

Most drivers pay without knowing they have a legal right to fight their ticket by mail - no court date required.

Missing a court date costs you

Scheduling conflicts, work, family - most people can't take a day off to appear. Your ticket becomes a conviction by default.

Lawyers charge $300 - $2,000

For a $300 ticket, hiring a traffic attorney rarely makes financial sense. And generic online services give you a form, not a strategy.

The TR-205 form is confusing

The official Trial by Written Declaration form has 20+ fields. One mistake and your case is dismissed - against you.

There's a better way. Trial by Written Declaration means you never set foot in court. And here's what most drivers don't know: if the officer fails to submit their declaration, your ticket is automatically dismissed - no argument needed. Our intake captures the right facts and our documents are built to win either way. Don't file a generic form and hope for the best.

The process

From ticket to filed in four steps

Designed so any California driver can use it, no legal background needed.

01

Tell us what happened

7 guided questions about your stop - speed, location, traffic conditions, whether you had a passenger. Plain English, no legal jargon. Takes about 3 minutes.

02

We draft your documents

Claude generates a personalized defendant declaration citing the exact VC section on your ticket (22349 or 22350) with the correct legal strategy for each - not a one-size-fits-all template. Plus a witness declaration if you had a passenger, and a TR-205 field guide pre-filled with your data.

03

Preview, then pay $29 to unlock

Read a preview of your defendant declaration before you pay. One $29 payment unlocks all three documents as download-ready PDFs.

04

File and wait

Mail your documents in or submit online (if your court allows it). Courts typically respond within 4 - 8 weeks. If you lose, email us your TR-215 for a full refund.

What you get for $29

Three documents. No other service bundles all three.

Most services give you one generic form. We give you everything you need to actually win.

Defendant Declaration

Your personalized court statement, written in first person, referencing the exact VC section on your ticket and the specific facts of your stop - not a template. Built around the correct legal argument for your charge.

Only TicketCleared

Witness Declaration

If someone was in the car with you, we generate a separate first-person witness declaration. A corroborating witness is one of the strongest arguments in a TBWD case. No other service includes this.

TR-205 Field Guide

A field-by-field walkthrough of the official TR-205 form, pre-filled with your data. Every field explained in plain English. No other service does this - most leave you to figure it out yourself.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a Trial by Written Declaration?
A Trial by Written Declaration (TBWD) is a legal process in California that lets you contest a traffic ticket entirely in writing - no court appearance required. You submit a written statement to the court, the officer submits their account, and a judge decides. If you lose, you can still request a Trial de Novo (in-person trial) with all the same options.
Will this work for my specific ticket?
TicketCleared handles California VC 22349 (absolute speed limit, most freeway tickets) and VC 22350 (basic speed law) - the two most common speeding charges. Each has a different legal strategy: VC 22349 focuses on challenging the accuracy of the speed measurement device, while VC 22350 argues the speed was not actually unsafe for the conditions. Our intake identifies which you have and builds the correct argument. Trying to write this yourself with the wrong strategy is one of the most common reasons TBWD filings fail.
What if the officer doesn't file their declaration?
If the citing officer fails to submit their written declaration to the court, your case is automatically dismissed - no argument required, no further action needed. This happens more often than most drivers expect, particularly for freeway stops where officers write dozens of tickets a week. Filing a TBWD is what triggers this process. Even if the officer does respond, your documents are built to present the strongest possible case based on the facts you provide.
Do I need a passenger / witness?
No. The witness declaration is an optional add-on included in your package if you had a passenger. If you were alone, you still get your defendant declaration and TR-205 field guide - two of the most important documents for your case.
What are my chances of winning?
We can't make guarantees - courts vary and officers' notes differ. What we can say is that a well-argued written declaration meaningfully improves your odds compared to paying or appearing without preparation. That's why we back every purchase with a full refund if your ticket isn't dismissed.
How do I file after I get my documents?
Your TR-205 field guide walks you through every field of the official form. Once filled out, you mail it (or in some courts, file online) to your court along with your defendant declaration. We include step-by-step filing instructions with your download.
Is my information stored securely?
Yes. Your intake data is encrypted in transit and stored in Supabase with row-level security. We only use it to generate your documents and send your download email. We never sell or share your data.
