Got a Ticket? Fight It!
Alberta's Original Traffic Ticket Fighters
Got a Ticket? Fight It! was founded by a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer who believed that Alberta drivers deserved real, affordable representation in court. That belief has not changed. For over 27 years, our team of licensed paralegals has been showing up in traffic courts across Edmonton and Alberta to fight for drivers who did not want to just pay and move on.
We are professional, confidential, and genuinely passionate about what we do. A traffic ticket may seem like a minor inconvenience, but the consequences of simply paying one can follow you for years. Demerit points, rising insurance premiums, a licence suspension, and the impact on your employment are all real possibilities. Our job is to make sure you understand those consequences before you decide, and to fight on your behalf if you choose to challenge the charge.
If you are looking for a traffic ticket lawyer in Edmonton, our team of licensed paralegals offers the same quality of representation, often at a more accessible rate, with decades of focused traffic court experience behind every case.
Why Fighting Your Ticket
Is Worth It!
Many drivers assume the easiest thing to do is pay the fine and move on. What they do not always realize is that paying a traffic ticket in Alberta is treated as a guilty plea. That means a conviction goes on your driving record, demerit points are applied, and your insurer will see it at renewal. For some drivers, a single conviction is enough to trigger a rate increase. For others, particularly those already carrying points, it can push them into licence suspension territory. The consequences of accumulating too many demerit points in Alberta include:
- Demerit points that remain on your record and affect your insurance.
- Licence suspension if you reach the 9-to-14-point range.
- A possible requirement to attend a reinstatement hearing before you can drive again.
- Non-renewal of insurance coverage if your insurer considers you too high a risk.
- Significant fines that compound with each subsequent offence.
- Potential jail time for serious or repeated driving offences.
Before you pay, it costs nothing to find out whether fighting is a realistic option. Our free consultation is there for exactly that reason.
Our Experience
Over 27 Years of Traffic Court Experience
We are a paralegal firm that focuses exclusively on traffic ticket defence. Our team handles the full range of Traffic Safety Act violations and Rules of the Road Infractions, including speeding tickets, careless driving, dangerous driving, impaired driving, hit-and-run, stunt driving, driving without insurance, and commercial vehicle offences. We also represent clients at Driver Control Board Hearings when a licence suspension is under review.
Due to our work over the years, several precedent-setting cases now exist in Alberta traffic courts, and we continue to build on those established advantages for every client we represent.

How We Handle Your Case
Every file starts the same way: a thorough review of the ticket itself, the date it was issued, the ticket number, the specific offence alleged, and any available evidence. From there, we build a strategy focused on achieving the best possible outcome, whether that means a full dismissal, a reduced charge, a lower fine, or fewer demerit points.
Here is what working with our team looks like in practice:
- We review the evidence carefully. Our early case work includes reviewing officer notes, gathering photographs, checking signage and road conditions, securing witness statements where applicable, and identifying any procedural errors or weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Details that seem minor, such as a faulty radar calibration log or an improperly documented stop, can be the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
- We request disclosure. Once a trial date is set, we can request full disclosure of the evidence against you, including the officer’s notes and any supporting documentation. This gives us the clearest possible picture of what we are working with before your court date.
- We handle the court appearances. In most cases, you will not need to take time off work to appear in court. Our team attends on your behalf and manages every step of the process. The first appearance date is an administrative step, not a trial, and we handle that without requiring your presence.
- We negotiate where it counts. Prosecutors may offer a resolution that reduces the fine or demerit points to a lesser offence. We negotiate on your behalf to secure the best available outcome, and we advise you honestly on whether any offer is worth accepting.
We know what dismissal looks like. If the officer does not appear at trial, the case is often dismissed. Our team understands how these situations unfold and is prepared to move quickly when they do.
How to Dispute a Traffic Ticket in Edmonton
Most traffic violations in Edmonton follow the process of the Provincial Court of Alberta. To dispute a ticket, you must submit a not guilty plea before the response deadline printed on the ticket.
Important: Do not pay the ticket if you intend to fight it. Payment is treated as a guilty plea and results in a conviction on your record, demerit points, and possible insurance consequences.
Who We Help
We represent individual drivers and commercial operators across Alberta, including Edmonton and the surrounding regions. Whether you received a standard speeding ticket or are facing a more serious charge that could affect your licence or livelihood, our team has the experience to represent you effectively.
For commercial drivers, fleet operators, and owner-operators, the stakes are even higher. A conviction can affect your insurance rates, your employment, your contracts, and the licence you need to keep working. We understand those pressures and work accordingly.
