One look around a courtroom and it was easy to see there was a problem. With thousands and thousands of traffic tickets issued every year, and no great option for resolving them, people take matters into their own hands– often ending in (or yielding) poor results. Scott Pierson and Branden Twibell knew there could be a better way to help people facing this very common problem.
Missouri Traffic Tickets is a simple idea executed at the highest level: help people to resolve their traffic tickets in a new, different, and better way. The old way is bogged down with lengthy wait times, too much paperwork, and a system that’s stayed the same for too long. Scott and Branden have experienced this system and have had enough.
Missouri Traffic Tickets is their vision to revolutionize the way traffic tickets are resolved and put clients where they belong, as the heart and focus of the work. It’s about time traffic tickets are taken as seriously as other legal issues! Scott and Branden realize many, many people face the challenge of handling a traffic ticket; their desire is to be the team people can count on for honest, affordable, and knowledgeable representation.
Through their tenure practicing law, Scott and Branden have seen the long-lasting negative impact of ticket missteps: increases in insurance rates, points on a license, and the uncertainty of future driving. The need was plain to see, and now the solution is as well.
