Read what our readers have to say

The new book, ‘Ohio Traffic Tickets are for the Birds’ is a practical, easy to read manual for fighting traffic tickets…also a sarcastic look at traffic ticket enforcement and how it affects our views on government.

Although dedicated to Ohio tickets, it’s applicable to all states.  A must buy for defense attorneys too.  Covers only what you need to know, from the day of ticketing through trial, provides specific advice for juveniles and it’s packed with real-life illustrations.

How to get the evidence the government will use at trial, how to spot weaknesses in the evidence, how to produce inconsistencies in the government’s case, how to prepare your case. It includes checklists, statutes, and forms.  What to do at arraignment, pretrial and trial, from motion to dismiss to cross-examination to closing.  

Fighting all types, from tickets based on traffic signs (includes a review of the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices), to ‘reasonable control,’ ‘assured clear distance,’ and ‘right-of-way’ tickets, to speeding tickets based on radar or aerial observation (includes Pennsylvania turnpike tickets) and provides specific methods to produce inconsistencies in each.  The book ends with a complete case example.

Brian Jonathan Wolk will become a criminal defense lawyer after graduating from Akron Law School in 2002.  As a prosecuting legal intern, he's prosecuted numerous traffic cases.  Before law school, he served as an Intelligence Officer in the United States Marine Corps.

In addition to availability online, Ohio Traffic Tickets are for the Birds can also be purchased or ordered from Borders or Barnes & Noble Bookstores (keyword search 'Ohio Traffic Tickets').  It is also available at the Ohio State University and University of Akron bookstores, as well as other University bookstores across Ohio.
