I've had a case for a red light camera ticket with this company for over two years. The case has been continued over and over again while I've been unable to drive for years. I turned right on red at an intersection not stating a right on red isn't allowed. I didn't do anything wrong... I thought they'd help me. That isn't the case. This place is a scam. I'd have better luck and spend less money with days off work then going through this company. I complained and they simply said "your license should be valid, I'm not sure why it's not." Ummm I gave you SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. you shouldn't be unsure of anything at that cost.... let alone it's been over a year... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE
I originally posted my review following my original court date with The Ticket Clinic. The first lawyer they gave me was only able to get me a plea deal with driver's school and a $250.00 fine. Originally I did not have the right insurance information and told my lawyer to file a continuance. The people at The Ticket Clinic did not notify me of my following court date, however instead of doing nothing my lawyer filed another continuance. The next lawyer got my ticket dismissed the day of the next court date. My advice to you is to hope you get the older bald guy as your lawyer because the lawyer with the hipster beard clearly doesn't know the law that well.
If I could give the ticket clinic zero stars I would. Sure, the staff is friendly but no one has any idea what is going on in their office. Every time I would call they would leave me on hold or put me straight to voicemail. But I still decided to go with them regardless. After putting down the retainer fee, I began to feel relieved. The day of my court appearance NO ONE shows up. How unprofessional is that? So not only did I pay for services that weren't ever used I wasn't even bothered with a phone call explaining what happened. Usually it's the other way around where then client doesn't show up, not the lawyer. Don't bother wasting your time with these guys, very inexperienced, unprofessional, and not worth your money.
I got a ticket on the Dan Ryan going 70mph. A Cook County sheriff pulled me over and gave me a ticket for speeding and no current insurance card in the car. I did have insurance but not the current card in the car which meant I had to appear in court to prove I had insurance. I called the ticket clinic and they wanted copies of the tickets. It seemed too easy but they said I didn't have to appear in court and they would take care of it. It all worked out fine and I didn't have to miss work. The total cost was about the same or less than paying the tickets and no convictions on my driving record. I would use them again if needed. They are easy to work with and did what they said they would do.
If I can give them Zero Star I would. I hired them for a speeding ticket and payed them $164.00. The Lawyer wasn't answering his phone when i called and the operator wasn't much of a help. The lawyer calls me a day before my court hearing to tell me "Can you make it tomorrow?" i wasn't able to leave work early. the next day i received a letter telling me i was found guilty and now i gotta pay $279.00 for court. So bottom line is i lost $164 for a lawyer $279 for court and STILL GUILTY
