Do it Yourself Attorney Assisted Mentor Service
For those who want to represent themselves, please keep in mind
that unless you are well versed in court trial procedures and are armed with law defenses, you are going to lose 99 percent of the time.
Some of you are only setting the case for trial in the hope the officer doesn’t show up. You realize that if the officer does show up and is ready to proceed, you most likely will lose the case.
If you wish to represent yourself, I highly recommend that you hire me to get you ready to fight and win. I can show you more than the basics on how to win, but just as importantly, how not to lose.
I’ve watched too many cases where the cop testified with inadmissible evidence to win the case. You must not allow that to happen. I can show you what to look for and how to stop the cop when he tries to get inadmissible evidence in against you.
You see, there is something called hearsay evidence. That’s when the officer testifies about something that is true, but the officer isn’t permitted to say it because its hearsay evidence. That’s the hearsay evidence that cops us to convict every day in every court, everywhere, and its inadmissible evidence! I will teach you what it is and how to stop it.
The next step in your trial preparation is to learn and use the law defenses that can win your case. I will show you what the law defenses are and how to use them.
For example in a speeding ticket that takes place on a street as opposed to a state highway, that’s a speed trap case if radar or laser/lidar is involved, a 22350 VC case.
Here are some law defenses. Did you know that the officer has to bring 4 admissible documents to court? There are several law defense levels here. First, the officer must bring those four documents to court. Second, each of the documents must be original certified documents, not just photographs of the originals. Third, the officer must have had the 4 documents admitted into evidence.
If the officer fails at any of these defense levels, the case must be dismissed? This is just one example of law defenses.
Get the point? You really must know exactly what to do and how to do it. That’s what I teach. My fee for showing you how is $300. All of our instruction will take place on the telephone and via email and fax.
Did you know that you could get rid of a judge if you thought him or her unfair? You can and I will show you how and provide the law form to get it done.
Whenever you are going to court you want to find out who the judge is and whether or not he or she will be fair in trial. Some judges are arrogant, police pleasing and will always find people guilty. There is an important rule of law that says you must be convicted by admissible proof and beyond a reasonable doubt.
Some judges simply ignore this rule and find people guilty, most do it I believe because they want to keep their jobs. You see if a judge constantly obeys the rule of law and finds the people not guilty, it is not uncommon for pressure to put on those judges to shape up and “do the right thing, which is convict!”
Almost all traffic matters are tried by commissioners, not judges and they serve at the pleasure of supervising judges.
Here’s the good news. First, you must do your homework and go to the courthouse and watch your traffic court commissioner at work. Is he or she fair? Is every defendant being found guilty? You can also check with the public defenders office in that courtroom and get their feedback on the fairness of that judge or commissioner.
If you find out he or she is a bad one, you will let me know and I will prepare and fax the form that you will file with the court on trial day. Once you file that form, before the trial actually starts, the case will be sent out to another courtroom. It’s easy. Not one word in opposition will be said, the case is just transferred out.
The form is called an Affidavit of Prejudice per Civil Code of Procedure 170.6. I will email or fax the completed form to you. You only get to do this once in a criminal case, that’s what an infraction is, a crime. That’s why you have all these precious constitutional rights.
Sometimes, you will want to plea bargain your case. That means that you believe you can plead guilty to something else that’s better for you. Here’s an example. Most tickets are one point DMV cases. That point can hurt your job or insurance. There is a vehicle code violation called a “coasting” charge. Coasting is like taking your foot off the gas and coasting. The advantage of pleading guilty to coasting is that there is no DMV point to hurt you and I don’t believe a coasting conviction is going to hurt your insurance rates.
The way you get a coasting disposition of the case is by asking the officer if he is willing to do it. The advantage to the officer is that he doesn’t have to testify, he gets a conviction and the court gets your money and you get no DMV point.
These are a few examples of why you’d want to hire me to prepare you for trial, if your going to do it yourself. It will be a lot of fun and a terrific experience for you. You won’t forget your day in court and the officer and court will be very surprised at your expertise.
