What is The Ticket Clinic?
The Ticket Clinic is one of Florida's oldest traffic-defense law firms — 30+ years in business with 25+ physical office locations statewide and the recognizable 1-800-CITATION phone number. They handle civil traffic, criminal traffic, and DUI cases through traditional law-firm engagement: call to schedule a consultation, get a quote from the local office, sign engagement paperwork, pay a flat fee.
Their strengths are decades of Florida-specific case experience, established attorney rosters, physical presence in every major Florida market, and brand recognition. The trade-off is traditional pricing (~$150–$350+ for civil tickets) and a process designed around phone calls and office visits rather than instant online intake.
What is Unilegal?
Unilegal is a Florida-only digital traffic defense platform. We file civil traffic citations in all 67 Florida counties for a flat $99 — published pricing, no quote tool. DUI cases are custom-quoted ($499–$1,499). Intake is fully online: upload a photo of your citation, get attorney assignment within 24 business hours, and the case is filed in your county Clerk of Court — no office visit, no phone tag.
Our differentiation is flat-fee transparent pricing + fully digital intake + the 24-business-hour Money-Back Filing Guarantee. The trade-off is no in-person consultation option.
