Did you or someone you know receive a City of Chicago Notice of Violation ticket for a permit, red-light, parking, or an another type of violation? If you believe you were not in violation of a ticket, you can contest the ticket in-person in order to present a defense in front of a Chicago city clerk judge. If you contest a city ticket by mail, it takes a week to receive hearing options. In addition, your hearing will be scheduled a month from when you receive your hearing options. In some instances, you might not be able to attend your hearing dates and will want someone to represent you in court. This is completely legal and is actually quite common, but not many are familiar with this.
Follow the steps below which have been confirmed by a Chicago violation officer.
If the ticketed person was not in violation of a City Ordinance and a valid defense case was presented in front of a traffic judge, the ticket will be voided.
