Can You Fight a Traffic Ticket in Calgary?

Yes. Depending on the type of ticket, Alberta’s Traffic Tickets Digital Service allows a driver to plead not guilty, request a trial date or request a review by a prosecutor. The correct response and deadline appear on the ticket, so it is important to review it promptly.

Before deciding whether to pay or dispute the allegation, we can review the ticket, discuss the possible consequences and explain how we would approach the case. If you may want to challenge the ticket, obtain advice before paying it.

How Our Calgary Ticket-Defence Process Works

1. Send Us the Ticket

Upload clear images of every page. Include the ticket number, alleged offence, date and response deadline. The initial consultation is free.

2. Understand the Possible Consequences

We discuss the allegation, possible fine and demerits, the driver’s history and any time-sensitive concerns. Insurance consequences depend on the conviction, driving record and insurer and should not be treated as automatic.

3. Respond and Request Disclosure

If you retain us, the team manages the agreed procedural steps, including filing the appropriate response and requesting available disclosure. Representation and attendance depend on the proceeding and the services agreed for the file.

4. Review the Evidence

We assess the officer’s notes, documents, photographs, video and other available evidence. We also identify missing information, inconsistencies and procedural issues relevant to the allegation.

5. Pursue the Best Available Resolution or Defence

The appropriate strategy may involve discussions with the prosecutor, preparing for trial or another response permitted by the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I pay a Calgary traffic ticket if I want to fight it?

Do not pay first if you may want to dispute the allegation. Payment generally resolves the ticket and can result in a conviction being recorded. Review the response options and deadline printed on the ticket, then obtain advice promptly.

How long do I have to respond?

Use the date and instructions printed on the ticket. Different documents and proceedings can have different deadlines. Send us the complete ticket as soon as possible so the applicable date can be confirmed.

Will I have to attend traffic court?

It depends on the ticket, stage of the case and service you retain. After reviewing the file, we will explain what can be handled by the defence team, what may be completed online and whether your attendance is required.

Can a traffic ticket be withdrawn or reduced?

Those outcomes can occur, but they depend on the allegation, evidence, prosecutor, court and available options. We do not guarantee a withdrawal or reduction. We assess the evidence and pursue the strongest outcome.

Will fighting a ticket prevent my insurance from increasing?

Insurance treatment varies by conviction, driving history and insurer. A defence service cannot control an insurer or promise a particular premium.

How much does a Calgary traffic ticket defender cost?

The initial consultation is free. The quote depends on the allegation, complexity and estimated work. You receive the proposed scope and fee before deciding whether to proceed.

Do you serve communities outside Calgary?

We Defend Tickets serves drivers across Alberta. If the ticket is connected to Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks or another nearby location, send it to us and we will confirm whether we can assist.
