How It Works, Step by Step

If you have just received a traffic ticket in Cayuga County, your first step is usually to look over the ticket itself. It will list the specific court, such as Auburn City Court or Brutus Town Court, where your case will be heard. Once you contact us, we will ask for the details from your ticket.

If you decide to hire us, we will file the necessary paperwork with the court.
