Public Counsel’s TAY Team Presents: TAY Tickets Advocacy – In this training, we provide an overview of the hearing process for traffic tickets and tows.  We will go over the best evidence to appeal traffic tickets and tows, as well as provide a strategy for hearing advocacy to help transition-age youth find any traffic tickets/tows on their records, appeal any traffic tickets/tows, and lift suspensions of drivers licenses.  The training ends with an explanation of the population that Public Counsel’s TAY team serves and the assistance we provide, as well as referrals to other local agencies who may be able to help.
