Traffic-ticket intake checklist for law firms

A clean intake checklist helps traffic-ticket firms avoid retyping, missing court context, and unclear next steps.

Ticket details

Start with the citation itself, then confirm the details before attorney review.

  • Citation number
  • Court and jurisdiction
  • Charge or violation
  • Hearing or due date

Driver and source

Capture who submitted the ticket and who needs visibility later.

  • Driver contact details
  • Fleet or agency relationship
  • Preferred communication channel
  • Supporting notes

Next action

Do not end intake with a static record. Define the next case action.

  • Attorney review
  • Quote or fixed-fee path
  • Payment request
  • Document request
