Interview Transcript

Scott Michael Dunn:Andrew, can a traffic ticket be dismissed?

Andrew Russek: A traffic ticket can be dismissed.

Scott Michael Dunn: Well, how would you go about doing that?

Andrew Russek: A couple different ways: As Chris was kind of saying sometimes, if there’s not much of a factual defense, but we’re able to work out a good deal, that deal may be the traffic ticket is dismissed.

Or, if you have a couple of traffic tickets, we can get some of the more serious ones dismissed. You pay a fine on the other ones.

Sometimes we are able to show that the case should be dismissed just because you did everything you needed to do, and a fine’s not necessary. So there’s a couple different reasons. Just like any criminal case, a traffic ticket could ultimately be dismissed
