Traffic Ticket Lawyers for Los Angeles Drivers
The Traffic Ticket Attorneys fight Los Angeles traffic tickets in the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s courthouses, from our office in Glendale. We defend drivers across Los Angeles County, the surrounding counties and the rest of California, and the first consultation is free.
Your Los Angeles Ticket Goes to the Los Angeles County Superior Court
The city of Los Angeles does not run a traffic court of its own. A ticket written in the city is heard by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, which serves 88 cities and 140 unincorporated areas from one court system. The court hears traffic cases at 17 courthouses, and your citation names the one that has your case.
Downtown, that courthouse is the Metropolitan Courthouse. It hears traffic, criminal and family law cases.
| Courthouse | Address | Hours (court’s page) |
|---|---|---|
| Metropolitan Courthouse | 1945 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007 | Building 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Clerk’s Office 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Monday–Friday, except court holidays |

A ticket written elsewhere in the city can name a different traffic courthouse. The court’s own list of all 17 traffic courthouses, with each address, is in our Los Angeles County traffic ticket guide. If the ticket came from Long Beach, our Long Beach traffic ticket guide covers that courthouse.
What Hiring Us Involves for a Los Angeles Ticket
The Free Consultation
You tell us what the ticket says: the Vehicle Code section, the courthouse and the due date. An attorney explains how the case would run at that courthouse and what the firm would do. The consultation is free, and you decide afterwards.
What the Firm Does on the Case
Once you hire us, an attorney reviews the citation, appears in court for you and keeps track of every court date, so the due date and each hearing are handled on time. You deal with one office in Glendale, wherever in Los Angeles County the case is heard.
Whether You Have to Be in Court
The court’s rules set this, and they differ by charge and by hearing. The court states that some violations, such as excessive speed, require a mandatory court appearance. It also lets people appear by audio or video through LACourtConnect, except for appeals and red light camera trials. In the consultation, the attorney tells you what your hearing requires.

Tickets We Fight in Los Angeles
We defend speeding tickets, red light camera tickets and CDL tickets in Los Angeles courts, along with stop sign, unsafe lane change and other infractions, and misdemeanors such as reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. Each one can bring fines and higher insurance costs, and a CDL ticket can put a commercial driver’s job at risk. Our attorneys have over 45 years of combined experience in fighting traffic tickets.

Questions From Los Angeles Drivers
Do I Have to Go to Court in Person for an LA Ticket?
It depends on the charge and the hearing. The Los Angeles court requires an appearance for some violations, such as excessive speed, and lets people appear by audio or video through LACourtConnect for most traffic hearings, though not for appeals or red light camera trials. The court also states that you may have a lawyer represent you. When you hire us, an attorney appears in court for you and tells you which hearings, if any, need you there.
Which Courthouse Is on My Ticket, and Does It Matter?
The courthouse is printed on your citation, and the court’s courtesy notice repeats it. The court mails that notice three to four weeks after the ticket, as a service, and the due date on the citation still applies if no notice arrives. The courthouse matters because it is where you pay, where a trial is held and where a written declaration is filed. The full list of the court’s traffic courthouses is in our Los Angeles County guide.
Can You Handle My Ticket If I’ve Moved Out of LA?
Yes. The case is heard at the courthouse named on the citation, and our attorneys appear there for you. The court also offers remote appearances for most traffic hearings. We take cases across California, so a ticket you later get somewhere else is one we can look at too.
What Does a Traffic Ticket Lawyer Cost?
The fee depends on the ticket and the court, and we quote it in the free consultation. Our guide to traffic ticket attorney costs explains how fees are set.
