Riverside Trucking Co. operates seven commercial vehicles in the California Central Valley. When their primary driver received three citations within 45 days—each carrying potential points and fine escalation—the company faced a cascade risk: commercial license suspension would halt operations entirely.
Owner Marcus Delgado had two options: hire a traffic attorney at $400 per case, or represent the company pro se. He'd handled a speeding ticket before but never a commercial vehicle citation with stacked penalties.
**Before:** Marcus spent 12 hours attempting to understand the court paperwork. The forms referenced California Vehicle Code sections he couldn't parse. An initial call to the court clerk confirmed "we can't give legal advice" and left him more confused. The estimated attorney cost for three cases: $1,200+ with no guaranteed outcome.
**The TrafficAppeal AI process:** Over three weekend sessions, Marcus entered his citation data, incident descriptions, and evidence documents. The system generated appeal letters structured around the documentation requirements his specific court had listed on its website. It flagged the missing evidence exhibit for the third citation and prompted him to obtain the police report before filing.
**After 6 weeks:** All three appeals were accepted for filing. Two resulted in dismissed charges after the officer failed to appear. The third received a reduced fine with no points. Total cost: $87 in filing fees plus $79 for the software subscription.
"I was ready to pay $1,200 to an attorney for cases I probably could have won myself if I'd known what to say. TrafficAppeal AI gave me the structure I was missing." — Marcus Delgado, Owner
