Worst case, you pay the fine you were already going to pay.
If you fight on time and lose, you usually owe the same fine. If you ignore it, penalties can make it worse. So why not check?

Fight my ticket

A few quick things and you'll see your defense.

1 · What kind of ticket?
2 · Photos of your ticket

Add up to 4 photos — tickets can be long, so capture every part clearly. We read the charge, fine, and deadline from them.

Your photo is used only to read your ticket, then deleted — we never store your images or license-plate data.
3 · What happened
4 · Your Business / Building

Optional — but adding your business type and address helps us find stronger, more specific defenses that fit your exact situation.

Ticket data — how NYC tickets really work

NYC publishes every ticket and every hearing outcome. We don’t gatekeep it. Live numbers from the last 12 months, straight from the city’s open data.

Overview
Parking
Sanitation
Hot Spots
Most people don’t fight, so most people lose.
86% of NYC parking tickets are never contested. Among the 14% that are, 16% get dismissed and 35% get reduced — a 52% “better outcome” rate. The data is on your side if you actually try.

Parking + camera tickets issued15.2M
Total fines assessed$1.1B
Sanitation summonses to OATH~470K / yr
Citywide dismissal rate (of contested)16%
Citywide reduction rate (of contested)35%
Out-of-state plates getting NYC tickets~30%
A few things the data shows
  • Camera tickets are harder to fight than officer-issued ones (12% vs 17% dismiss rate). The folk wisdom is wrong.
  • NYPD-issued tickets dismiss at 63% when contested. Parks Dept tickets at 72%. The agency that wrote your ticket matters.
  • Commercial plates already contest 62% of tickets but win mostly reductions, not dismissals. Different strategy needed.
  • School-zone speed cameras are the highest-volume single code (~4M/yr) and rarely get dismissed.

Drill into the Parking tab for the per-code dismiss rates.
