What speed/zone?
County
Court Date *

Has any person on your auto insurance policy received a “pjc” or prayer for judgment continued in the past three years? If left blank, attorney may assume that the answer to this question is “no.” * failure to accurately notify my attorney of this information may lead to a plea disposition that will result in the assignment of insurance points to my policy. *

Yes
No

Yes - I agree to pay the currently listed (per the attorney’s website) County Attorney Fee rate as payment of attorney’s fees. I understand that I am not sending money to my attorney to pay court costs/fines/driving school fees, etc. and the money I am sending is ONLY for the attorney’s fee.

Yes - My attorney has sole discretion to negotiate an agreement on my behalf in order to get the best driving record/insurance point outcome possible. I recognize that, in certain circumstances, payment of a higher fine could result in a plea which is more favorable.

Yes - I understand that my payment of attorney’s fees/driving record cost will not be held in trust and I waive my right to an accounting of the same.

Yes - I understand that my attorney will use his best efforts and expertise to reduce or eliminate the imposition of insurance and/or DMV points upon my conviction of the offense, and that he cannot and has not guaranteed any particular result.

Yes - I authorize my attorney to associate counsel, in his discretion, to better facilitate the disposition of the charges against me. Disposition notices will be sent by email ONLY. If I do not receive such a notice within 5 days AFTER the attorney’s court date, it is my responsibility to call and notify the attorney as to the absence of further instructions. Failure to do so may result in adverse consequences. *

Yes - I understand that my attorney earns his attorney’s fees upon his making a general appearance to the court on my behalf, which includes continuing the case.
Waiver of Appearance

Yes - I hereby waive my right to appear before the court and contest the charges against me, if such charges are waive able offenses. I authorize my attorney to act on my behalf and enter such plea(s) that, in my attorney’s sole discretion, would be in my best interests, even if such disposition might result in adverse insurance or DMV consequences. I request that the court accept my waiver of trial and enter whatever plea my attorney has negotiated.

I instruct my attorney to proceed with the disposition of my ticket and accept the next best plea disposition from the assistant district attorney. *

When you are injured in an accident, whether an auto accident or any other injurious accident, the last thing you want to do is worry about the technicalities of personal injury law.
