"It’s just a city ticket—it doesn’t matter”
Local‑ordinance convictions are Class‑C misdemeanors and appear on your record. They can be used by prosecutors to enhance future charges or by landlords to deny housing. An attorney can negotiate dismissals or compliance resolutions.
"I can fix it myself—why hire a lawyer?"
Many ordinances allow dismissal with proof of correction (e.g., cleaning up property, obtaining permits). A lawyer ensures you comply with the ordinance and court procedures to get the charge dismissed.
"Lawyers cost more than the fine"
The fine may be small, but the long‑term impact of a conviction can be big. Ticket Guys offers affordable representation to help you avoid any record.
