Off The Record

by Off The Record (OTR)

A service that connects drivers with experienced lawyers to contest traffic tickets, aiming to avoid points, insurance increases, and court appearances.

Overview

Off The Record provides a platform for drivers who have received traffic citations. Users submit their ticket details and location, and OTR matches them with a local attorney specializing in traffic law. The service typically operates on a flat-fee basis per ticket and includes a guarantee in many jurisdictions – if the lawyer doesn't successfully keep points off the driver's license, the user gets a refund.
