Common questions — Arizona
How long do I have to contest my Arizona ticket?+
30 days from the citation date. Miss the window and the court rejects the filing — don't wait.
Do I need to fill out any forms?+
Arizona uses a specific court form (AZ-CIVIL-MAIL-2024). We fill it out automatically from your ticket — you just review and approve.
Do I have to pay the fine upfront?+
No. Arizona does not require a bail deposit to file a written declaration.
What if I lose?+
Two things. First, we refund $59.99 — we only keep $20 for the AI work already done. Second, you can request a fresh in-person trial within 20 days, as if the written contest never happened. Your deposit, if any, is held until that trial concludes. We offer a Court Prep add-on to help you get ready.
Is DontPayTickets a law firm?+
No — we're a document preparation service. You're still the one filing; we prepare the paperwork at your direction. Think of it as TurboTax for traffic tickets.
