I'm so bummed!! I paid the money through Paypal and filled out the "registration form" and I've never gotten a response to my payment, questions, or follow up emails. I'm now trying to get a refund. I'm feeling super disappointed and deflated. I'm in a rough place after having 2 recent surgeries and I'm an independent contractor. I got a 300$ ticket for driving 45 in a 40 (MY FIRST TIME EVER GETTING PULLED OVER AT 42.) No priors. Nothing. Ticket Assassin seemed like a nice person wanting to help, but now I feel like I just got scammed out of 25$ I should've probably used to pay the ticket. It's unfortunate that there are people that are out there looking to take advantage of others just looking for help and support. read more

I just used ticket assassin for another ticket. I was pulled over by an officer in Sonoma county who used LiDAR, he was very nice and explain to me how accurate and reliable it was, and so on. We had a friendly chat, and he wrote me a ticket. Seriously, I was about to just pay it and write it off as an experience but I checked the ticket, assassin website and saw that LiDAR is only effective at a certain distance. The officer had written down that he used LiDAR when I was more than 1100 feet away. That is well outside of the range of reliability for LiDAR so I utilized some of the formats from ticket assassin to Shape my trial by written declaration, and it was dismissed! No points and no fine. I contacted Pat and he reviewed my documents and gave me some pointers and encouragement. He's great and I highly recommend his website. It's an excellent resource and he is a great person to have on your team because he knows the inns and outs of all these tickets. read more

They helped me write a trial by declaration to fight my Los Angeles speeding ticket, and I was acquitted. Affordable, clear help was all I could hope for and they delivered. Turns out you can actually trust *some* strangers on the internet, with legal advice nonetheless read more

Ticket Assassin - Not guilty decision - Editorial Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

Don't bother. I paid and never heard back as I needed a form that's only available via email. 4 different attempts to contact went unanswered. Total waste of time. Really disappointing and quite honestly mind-boggling. I filed a claim with PayPal to get my money back. A hassle I did not need on top of dealing with the ticket. Look elsewhere. read more

This service helped me write a "Trial by Written Declaration" statement that got my case dismissed. I used some of the templates provided and adapted them to meet my situation. 10/10 would recommend this service, the $25 fee is nothing compared to the ticket cost and insurance hikes. read more

Recently my car was towed by SFMTA for blocking a driveway (which it wasn't). I have been meaning to contest the tow since it was super expensive & unrequited. I took some pictures of the spot where I parked the car, and was hoping they might help me contest the tow. Someone at work recommended I use the services of Ticket Assassin (aka Patrick), and so I parted ways with $25 after deciding to avail of the 'membership' benefits outlined on the Ticket Assassin website. Some of the contest letter examples have to be requested by email, as they are meant for members only. It's been a month since I reached out to Pat and so far I haven't received any help from him. SFMTA allows for contesting its tickets within a 21-day window usyally, which at the moment has been extended due to Covid. Anyway, it's frustrating to keep sending reminders to someone who is claiming to offer helpful sample-letters within a few days (as the website says) and to get no replies. This after you make a membership 'donation'. In hindsight it was a mistake to pay the 25 bucks upfront..it's not a huge amount but it feels as if I was conned by Ticket Assassin. I have decided to contest the ticket/tow on my own now. Hope this review helps other folks make a balanced decision. read more

I received a speeding ticket on a rural highway last summer. I was pissed, and decided rather than pay the ticket/do traffic court, I'd spend that time educating myself on how to navigate my way out of the ticket. I came across Ticket Assassin site, paid the nominal donation fee, and Pat helped guide me through the legal process that all are entitled to, but only 1% utilize. Basically, he teaches you how to use the justice system's own bureaucracy against it until they do something wrong, late, etc, and your case is dismissed. In my case, it was an aging CHP officer who was to lazy to submit to a court subpeona for a report (written declaration) of the stop. Cops don't like to do extra work they don't get paid for!! It's money and time well spent learning how to exercise your constitutional right & say 'f**k the police!!!' read more

Signed up, paid the $25, no email in almost 6 weeks. Only have a day or two left to send in my paperwork and I'm not a lawyer! Checked my spam filters etc. confused and frustrated. read more

I used this business before and they did a great job sending me an example to help me with my ticket, they were very responsive. Recently, I decided to use them again and this time when I paid my fee I got no response. I contacted via Facebook and he responds and committed to a response same day. ReneB64. read more

I signed up and payed the $25 for Ticket Assassin a few years ago and recently went to check the site for information regarding another ticket BUT my access is no longer working. I sent emails to Patrick and the Zendesk support desk but they're completely unresponsive. Looking through their website, it also appears it hasn't been updated since 2016 so my guess is that its now defunct just taking peoples money. Highly recommend avoiding Ticket Assassin and instead finding a more reputable service -- there are much better choices out there now for the same information. This is just a scam at this point. read more

Ticket Assassin - Editorial Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

I just used their service again this year after a few years of not needing to. I didn't need to talk to anyone specific this time b/c it was a straight forward ticket regarding traffic cameras. I had to register again I think, and it allowed me to use their non-member templates. Which I used to help write and submit my Trial by Written Dec. No outcome for my specific ticket yet but i'm hoping like in the past it will have a good chance to help me beat it. So I basically got some free help from the generous owners of this website. And I will donate (as I have in the past) thanks to the info their site provides. read more

EDIT: Changing my Star rating, I was finally reached out by Pat on email and he provided relevant information. However, I am still reducing 2 star since it takes weeks to get a reply from him. Will change my rating again if I get response from him quickly. SCAM ALERT! I was seeking help to fight my speeding ticket. Like the website said I paid $25 and took a chance in hopes that I will get access to relevant documents and sample letters to write my 'Trial by Written Declaration'. However there has been no response from them and its been weeks. I keep emailing them but still no response. Seems like a total scam! Folks reading this review please do not waste your money and time. read more

Ticket Assassin - $25 paid receipt but still no service - Editorial Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have never got a response or access to the membership information. My due date for the bail is in 5 days and I can't wait forever. Email to the support, no response as well. Completely disappointed and want my money back. read more

I gave one star because there is no ZERO! I have been sending them emails - getting auto responses but never anything directly from them. My date is now fast approaching and with all the great reviews (OBVIOUSLY OUTDATED) I believed I had a great shot. I am going to write what I hope will help, based on my research. Meanwhile, my advice is to NOT waste your time here. read more

I received a red light camera ticket. I found Ticket Assassin and it sounded like a valid method to beat the ticket so I paid my $25. I followed the directions precisely and sent in my complete trial by declaration for them to critique, they said it was fine so i sent it to the court. The court responded with an additional form they wanted me to sign, this wanted me to agree that i was NOT contesting it was me in the picture. I didn't know what to do about that but i knew i shouldn't sign it. I emailed (twice) Ticket Assassin and asked for advice, i got no response . I ended up having to appear in court, and lost. This system does NOT work, at least not in California. read more

They sent me several samples, but that was it. I tried asking them if I was supposed to add all driving codes in my declaration, but once they got $25 and sent me pages to thumb through, I was ghosted. They also said, if I lose my case let them know, so they can help further. I lost, I let them know, and asked for the next steps, once again, heard absolutely nothing! My ticket was for speeding. One of the laws they sent was stating that a police officer cannot marker count to get accurate vehicle speed....guess what, that's exactly how the officer won his the case! Either Ticket Assassin gave me wrong information, or the courts aren't up to date on the laws. I am fighting my ticket further(Trial de Novo), and have to research all the laws myself. I feel like I got scammed. I just wish I had help from Ticket Assassin. At least a return email. Side note: I know it's only $25, and I was glad to pay, but they don't deliver. read more

The YouTube ad said it was on the honor system to pay the $25 dollars. Get to their website, register and you can't access ANYTHING until you pay the money. You can't know what you will get before you unload. Even after paying, this money-making scheme does not help. Still waiting for reply, no luck, no direction. Court date is very near and no time to do anything anymore. Save your money. Go elsewhere. read more

I was traveling on a lonely two land highway north of Baker California. The speed limit was 55 if I recall and I was probably pushing 70-75mph when a cop car passed me going in the opposite direction. Apparently his radar can calculate my speed while he is approaching me traveling in the opposite direction which was news to me. I probably would have just rolled over and paid the ticket price of $325 however a quick internet search on traffic tickets yielded Ticket Assassin. Now bear in mind this was several years ago so this review is a tad late. It was a donation type of suggested payment back then and now it is a suggested $25 membership fee. All I can tell you is that I used the information to craft a written defense to the San Bernardino court system and beat the ticket. My argument was fairly unique and I had doubts it would work but a few weeks later I received a check in the amount of $325. This was the refunded bail amount I had to post in case I lost the case. I see some negative feedback based on the lack of personal help so don't expect a lot hand holding. The gold is in the great documents they had at the time for crafting a defense. read more

I was cited on Mission Gorge Rd back in November, for doing 67 in a 50. The speed limit was actually 55, it was a clear day, with no other cars on the road. The officer didn't even into account I have had a perfect driving record for over 25 years. After some research, discovering Ticket Assasin, and paying the $25, I submitted my argument via Trial By Declaration, along with my bail amount of $375. If I had pled guilty, I would have paid $400 for the ticket and anotber $400 for traffic school. Received a letter today; ticket was dismissed. THANK YOU Ticket Assasin. BEST $25 I ha ever spent. read more

Contacted in June ,a number of times never received any response.I would say this site is a total waste of time. Even to this day no response,Why have site if you are not going to help? read more

This company provides a good service and you will most probably get out of a speeding ticket meaning they refund your bail $, and you don't have to take traffic school to keep the point off your record. Well worth paying the $25 fee. It is not a complicated process, just have to fill out a couple of forms and send them to the court. It takes a while for them to respond back so be patient. Ticket dismissed ! read more

I want to like Ticket Assassin. I used him twice without issue. The third time is how I got screwed. His answer for 23123.5(a) relies on an outdated interpretation of the law. In other words, he tells you how to win against the law as of 2017. The law was changed, but his legal arguments have not. Be very careful. And to hammer in the point that other recent reviewers have made, yeah his communication is very slow, even if you make a new donation each time. Took several weeks to get a response. Would have been better off not talking to him at all and going with one of the fresher services that offers more support. read more

I used this service paid membership in 2021 to fight a cell phone ticket. Was a success. Highly recommended. If you have a traffic ticket, pretty much any kind, this Ticket Assassin is all you need with great value. Really don't need to use other higher charged fee service. Try it and you will see. read more

They never replied when I paid them the $25. So I never received access to the members-only declarations. Many days later, I asked Paypal for a refund. To their credit, they did provide a refund. Still, what a disappointment! I was hoping they would provide access to the member-only declarations in exchange for the $25. Patrick: If you or your co-workers are reading this, I'll gladly take down this review if you provide the service I was hoping to receive. read more

I read the reviews before purchasing. The few negative reviews seem to be due to a lack of back and forth between Pat. You are paying 25$ for a service were your alternative is extensive research on your own OR hiring a lawyer. IF you were only to receive the draft, you would still be getting a value far greater than $25. My experience thus far: Two speeding tickets in one day. For my $25 member fee I got drafts for both tickets. I've only started on one ticket so far and Pat has already read my written declaration and gave me two corrections and said after those fixes it will be ready to go. Thank you Pat for all your help. read more

Paid $25 to site. Got a solution for 21453- conventional red light ticket instead of automated red light violation. failing to get any response from the Patrick for last 10 days. Please be aware of this mishandling as i just lost my money and no response from other side. Patrick: If you or your co-workers are reading this, I'll gladly take down this review if you provide the service I was hoping to receive. read more

Never responds to emails or contact attempts. They expect you to pay but don't offer anything in return

Ticket Assassin helped me get my $367 speeding ticket dismissed! I was cited for a laser speeding ticket 120+ miles from where I live and did not want to go to court; so, I did some research, stumbled upon Ticket Assassin, and paid for a subscription. With that said, I had a few questions regarding my case and Ticket Assassin answered them in a timely manner. Although it took a little bit of effort on my behalf, I followed Ticket Assassin's directions precisely and it proved to be successful! If not obvious by now, I had a great experience and highly recommend Ticket Assassin! read more

The photo I uploaded says it all. "Case dismissed for lack of prosecution. Bail is ordered exonerated and refunded. By order of the Presiding Judge" Thank you Ticket Assassin! read more

Ticket Assassin - Received this in the mail today! Thank you Ticket Assassin! - Editorial Services Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is an absolute scam of a supposed business. You pay $25 to be a "member", but you never hear from them again. I cannot believe that they haven't been sued yet with these shady tactics. read more

Tons of thanks to Ticket Assassin and Patrick!!! I have saved over $600 on a red light camera violation, my ticket got dismissed! Paid $25 membership fee which is good for an year and totally worth it! read more

Update on 12/26/2020: As if this year wasn't a shit show enough already! After I wrote my initial review, almost immediately (next day or two after) I got an email with the suggestions on what to write in the letter to the court (aka Written Declaration) - coincidence?! Don't think so! As Master Oogway said: "There are no accidents" ahaha - Aaaaaaaanywho! I did everything as instructed, sent them everything to get a double check/ to get notes from them ahead of time to make sure it'll be the best statement it can be (as they suggested to do that in the email themselves), contacted them through several options, N E V E R heard back from them, and since the deadline was approaching - sent everything over to the court crossing my fingers - and I was pretty positive about the upcoming outcome... But sure enough on Christmas (literally, I'm not kidding, Dec 24th I got the letter) I got my "present" from the court - GUILTY ! ! ! - So not just that I wasted more money than the actual ticket costed me (all the mailing, so-called membership fee, upcoming traffic school fees, etc.) - I got a messed up Christmas spirit and the only way to get a reduced fine, is to request that stupid TRIAL DE NOVO, that will make me drive all the way through the whole state, most likely loose the trial again (cause obviously I'm not the first not last one who comes to those courts with this prewritten defense statements) and waste even more money, time and nerves to get nowhere. I'm very disappointed and mad to be honest. I understand that there were no guarantees and the fee for their services are very low, but the "personalized options" of statements that they were supposed to give me - were generic, obviously outdated and useless, since hundreds if not thousands of people used them before (probably even in the same court!). I update to 2 stars just because they gave me a hope and it looked like a descent statement to get my ticket dismissed or reduced. But unfortunately, it was a waste of time, money and effort. PS: Just noticed that a few people just very recently had the same problems as me and put 1,2,3 stars. And there are tons of other bad reviews. HOW IN THE WORLD THIS PAGE HAS 4 STARS RATING ??? !!! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Paid several weeks ago, didn't receive any response or any forms and/or advices from them. Almost missed my first deadline to send the request of getting a Trial by written declaration (since I've never done that before, I thought I would need an advice from Ticket Assassin about that too). Now I got a form from the court to fill out and to send my declaration before December 5th, which is only 3 weeks away from now! I hope they'll be in touch with me very soon, otherwise I wasted those $25 (which is not much, but still sucks - would get a full tank of gas with that money!) - No responses to my emails and messages on Facebook. Don't want to have to report them to BBB, but will do if won't get any help and response. read more

Total SCAM! I paid and registered on 6/16. Its been two weeks and still no word from them other than confirmation that I paid and registered. I have messaged through Facebook, emailed the member email address, and still no word. read more

After getting a HOV lane ticket in Ca. I went online and found TA. Following their advice I requested a trial by written declaration, and prevailed, not totally sure why. TA saved me $498.00. I cannot recommend them enough! The BEST there is. All the 1 and 2 star reviews here are clueless peeps that couldn't find their way out of a phone booth. The site info/tutorial ARE FREE! You can donate.....but don't expect to be spoonfed. If you do, then you deserve not only the ticket, but the highest fine possible. Figure it out. No one should have to pay....just READ!!! Thanks TA read more
