Fightmyticketca.com uses deceptive advertising practices to bait you in. The owner, David, doesn't even show a legally registered business with the California Secretary of State and furthermore, there is no proper disclosure of their legal document assistant license number on their website or terms, as prescribed to do so by law.

It's important to note, as expressed on their own website in their own words:  "**The service provided by our site/service/staff is not legal advice, but general information on legal issues commonly encountered. FightMyTicketCA is not a law firm and is not a substitute for an attorney or law firm. FightMyTicketCA cannot provide legal advice and can only provide self-help services at your specific direction. FightMyTicketCA is not permitted to engage in the practice of law. We do not draw legal conclusions or apply the law to the facts of your situation. No attorney-client relationship is created by using FightMyTicketCA’s services, and you are representing yourself in any legal matter. If you need legal advice for a specific problem, or if your problem is too complex to be addressed by FightMyTicketCA, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area. Communications between you and FightMyTicketCA are protected by our Privacy Policy, but are not protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. Please note that your access to and use of FightMyTicketCA.com is subject to updated additional terms and conditions .**". 

So, if they can't provide legal advice, and only at the direction of an individual can they act upon anything, then why wouldn't I just do it myself or hire a lawyer if I really need advice?!   They say they can't draw legal conusions but then their website promotes 'Attorney Approved', which appears deceptive in nature.  My attorney friends must feel cheated when non-attorneys try and use this strategy to their own personal gain.

Finally, any business that advertises with a generic address, such as theirs 18000 Studebaker Road, Cerritos, CA 90703, with no business suite, is a red flag!  

Do it yourself and save the $99 or hire a lawyer.  There's plenty of good ones out there!

I'm sure the State of CA will be interested when I report this 'fake' non-registered company to them this week.  Will the real 'David'-shady please stand-up?!

FightMyTicketCA.com Files Own Rebuttal from Mike Perales

AUTHOR: Sean P - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, April 09, 2014

Mike claims to have used fightmyticketca.com back in November of last year, but there is no ticket on file under that name with the county he claims to have received the ticket.  How convenient that Mike got the ticket in Cerritos near the so-called office of fightmyticketca.com.  Again an office with no suite number.  This building has several different businesses in it and if they were 'legit' then they would have too. It's clearly an attempt made by the owner to disguise himself as a prior customer who was satisfied with the service, when in fact its another example of the fraud behind closed doors at this company.  How come they aren't registered with the State of California?  How come they don't provide details on their licening and if they have (2) lawyers in their office (which I doubt), how come they clearly state on their site that they are not a lawfirm?  Why not leverage the (2) lawyers in the office and promote that more?!  Maybe, because Mike is full of crap or should I say, David?!

#2 Consumer Comment

Used This Company & It Worked

AUTHOR: Mike Perales - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, April 09, 2014

I do not know what this guy is talking about. I had my citation dismissed that I received in November of 2013. Not only did they know a great deal about the law. They had 2 attorney's on staff from when I started with them. My defense was extremely detailed(9pages long). I saved a bunch of time and money with this company. This guy is just being a d****e with no life.

I am not keen on reviewing companies cause the time it takes, but I really wanted to write a review on yelp considering this fightmyticketca.com had yet to have one(i think it may be due to the service being completely online so no in person meetings). Then while searching I came across this crap, and I knew I had to atleast rebut this false claim. I got a ticket in November of 2013 for running a red light on South St. & Gridley in Cerritos. Everyone knows this stupid camera light location is a bunch of BS. At first I thought that we can just not pay the citation(all my friends were telling me this), but I later found out that this is definitely not the case. I was thinking about fighting my citation myself, but the time it was taking just added up and did not seem to be worth the effort. I later searched how to fight my ticket in ca. Then this company popped up. A $99 flat rate with no hidden fees to fight my $490 ticket seemed to be a bit on the unbelievable side. So I called in and spoke to an individual by the name of Danny. After speaking to some of these other places that I can clearly tell were trying to push me into paying their ridiculous prices, I really noticed something different with fight my ticket ca. Danny was more interested in showing me exactly what it is I will have to do, and what they can do with my defense. Nonetheless, the price was exactly what they advertised, and the defense was so detailed I didn't want to even complete reading it. The defense was 9 pages long with a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo I don't understand. All i had to do was mail it to the court, and then I got a letter in the mail letting me know that I won my case! I ended up saving hundreds. Was definitely a price worth risking, and will gladly use this company again if I get another ticket.

Here are some things about this company I noticed:
1. Really friendly staff
2. Seem to be really knowledgeable about traffic law in CA
3. It was the most affordable option (other places charged something called a document processing fee)
4. This company actually lets you read what they wrote.
5. Got my ticket dismissed :)

1. One thing is that the phone line can get busy at times, but they call you back once their lines free up. 
2. Another thing is that they do not do in person meetings. I get it. Considering its only $99, but some sort of store front would be nice for people not to fond of the internet.

#1 UPDATE Employee

Most Likely Issued By Competing Company Or Advertising Company

AUTHOR: Fight My Ticket CA - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, April 08, 2014

To clear up this report: Fight My Ticket CA is a fully registered legal service company. However, it is under a different structure as these other "attorney approved" trial by declaration companies. We now have carry a legal department that backs up our on staff attorney, which is in a clear exception to the LDA License Number posting(similar to that of legal zoom, a multi-million dollar website). What is the difference between our company and others? We allow you to read over our defense packet to ensure you that we have prepared an effective defense that our clients feel confident in, we don't bait our clients through a "money back" claim that doesn't provide all the paid money back, we pride ourselves in customer service, and we are affordable. Yes it is true that a trial by declaration can be done without the expertise of a company. Here is a link for the form to do so http://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/tr205.pdf . So can any trial in court. However, if you want the expertise and professionalism to be paired with your plea, you may have to hire someone to do so. Our dismissal page, which is only a few of the countless dismissals received, are offered to us directly from previous clients.

  1. Couple things our company finds odd about this report: Our owners, more than one, have not disclosed their names for privacy purposes. One of our owners is named David, which would only be known by our staff, and competition. Our corporate counsel will be looking into this report, and we will gladly act upon this to the fullest extent should we find any connection to our competition.

  2. This email arose right after this report was filed:
