After receiving a traffic ticket, the first instinct is usually to pay it and be more careful next time. It is better to try to fight a ticket than simply accept it. Tickets, especially if they're not the first ones, can harm a person's traffic record. For example, if applying for a job that requires a spotless driving record, the ticket - or tickets - could result in failure to be offered the position. Having a several tickets on record can result in loss of points from a driver's license. In addition to this, they will also cause auto insurance rates to rise once the insurance company finds out. If an auto insurance policy that was normally $120 per month raised to $140 each month, this would be an extra $240 spent each year. The ticket would likely be much less. To avoid any of these hassles, hire a ticket lawyer.
Ticket lawyers know all the specific details of traffic laws. For a fee that is much less than paying a higher annual amount on raised auto insurance, they are able to minimize damages to traffic records, driver's licenses and insurance policies. If the ticket is a speeding ticket that wasn't obtained during a DUI, reckless driving or reckless endangerment charge, the court will usually drop the charges that are detrimental. In place of the ticket being waived, the person who received it may have to complete one or more courses in traffic school. There are also some attorneys who specialize in getting a ticket waived without the need for traffic school. One example is The Ticket Clinic, which offers services in many parts of the nation. There are ticket lawyers in every large city.
Not every case is identical, so attorneys are not always able to get the most optimal results for each client. For example, if one client were speeding on an open highway with no traffic, the ticket could easily be waived. If that same client were speeding in a school zone where children were in the crosswalk, the ticket may or may not be waived, but driving school would be almost guaranteed. To find a good lawyer who deals with traffic tickets, search for one who advertises that fact on their website or advertisement. General practice attorneys may be able to handle the case, but they will not have as much experience, so results may be less optimal.

What happens if you lose your speeding ticket and does your lawyer need it for the trial?
Your copy of a ticket is just one of many. The officer will have one, the court will have one and the DA's office will have one. If you lose your copy, contact the court or DA's office and request a copy. If you have an attorney, he/she can do it, but make the call yourself and save whatever fee the attorney will charge for this simple request. * You can obtain a copy of the ticket from the office of the clerk of the traffic court in the county in which the ticket was issued. The district attorney's (prosecutor's) office does not handle nor have paperwork for minor cases such as traffic citations.
If the wrong statute was listed on a traffic ticket in Arizona can they fight the ticket based on that mistake alone?
You can probably fight it on that basis ("Your Honor, I was wearing a seat belt when I was pulled over" if that's what they accidentally put down), but the court may not really care if you were written up clearly and the officer appears. It depends on a lot of factors, but the wrong statute argument might help you. Maybe talk to an attorney? (I tried talking to my attorney for one speeding ticket, he suggested an approach to take but recommended he not appear for me - can give an impression of wrong-doing!)
