Trial Packet

Trial coming up? Walk in prepared.

Court-ready trial packet: cross-examination questions, exhibit list, closing outline, statement of facts. For drivers heading to in-person traffic trial — including those who lost a Trial by Written Declaration and are entitled to a fresh hearing.

Two ways in

Pick the one that fits your situation.

Upgrade — existing customer
$30.00

You already filed a Trial by Written Declaration with us. Your case facts and intake answers carry over — we just need the court’s response and a few extra trial-prep questions.

Pick a TBWD case to upgrade →

Sign in required. We’ll show your eligible cases.

Standalone — new customer
$79.99

You didn’t file a Trial by Written Declaration with us — fresh ticket upload, full intake, then trial-prep questions. Same work as a TBWD case, same price.

Start fresh intake →

No card needed for the intake — only at packet generation.

Optional add-on: +$10.00 to print and ship the packet to your home in a plain envelope. Otherwise you download the PDF and print yourself. Available on either tier. Family-plan members have the packet fee waived; mail-to-self is billed separately.

12–15 cross-exam questions

Tied to the elements of your specific charge. Ask one at a time, listen, establish the record.

Subpoena-ready exhibit list

Calibration logs, traffic surveys, dashcam, witness statements. Bring the right paper.

Closing argument outline

Three sentences. You can read them verbatim. Tied to the gaps you established on cross.

For new customers without a TBWD case here.

Three quick fields, then five short questions. No card needed until you decide to generate.

Common questions

How do I know whether to pick upgrade or standalone?+
If you filed a Trial by Written Declaration with DontPayTickets earlier and now want a trial-prep packet for the in-person hearing, choose Upgrade ($30.00) — we’ll list your eligible cases and prefill what we already know. If you didn’t file a TBWD with us (whether you skipped TBWD entirely, lost one elsewhere, or are pro se), choose Standalone ($79.99).
What does upgrade need from me?+
The court’s response to your TBWD (the document containing the officer’s sworn declaration), plus a few additional questions about witnesses, evidence, and your trial date. Your original TBWD intake answers carry over and pre-fill the form.
What does standalone need from me?+
A photo of your ticket (we OCR it), your account of what happened, what you dispute about the officer’s claim, witnesses and evidence, and your trial date. If you have any court documents related to the case, you can upload them; the AI will use what’s available.
Why does standalone cost more than upgrade?+
Same intake work as a fresh TBWD case (full ticket OCR, fact extraction, defense generation, plus the trial-prep questions). The upgrade tier reuses the work we already did on your TBWD.
Is this legal advice?+
No. DontPayTickets is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We prepare documents at your direction. You remain the pro-se litigant. Consult a licensed attorney for legal advice.
