completion of forms should be directed to an attorney.

Traffic/Criminal Fines:
If you are trying to determine the amount of a traffic ticket or similar fine, see the
state bail schedule:
California State Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule
and the local bail schedule: Superior
Court of California, County of Santa Clara Bail Schedule. Note that the schedule will not reflect the total amount owed, since many
state-mandated assessments and fees are added to certain misdemeanor and
infraction violations, substantially increasing the final sum that must
be paid.
For complete fee information on other California counties, see the
Statewide Civil Fee Schedule page at the State Court
Judicial Council website.
