How it started
OTR launched in 2015 in the greater Seattle area with just 12 traffic ticket attorneys. The service was an immediate hit. Soon, other attorneys across Washington started reaching out to join the network.
We vetted each one carefully. When they met our standards, they joined. Before long, OTR was available across all of Washington state.
Then attorneys in other states took notice. Firms around the country began reaching out, interested in the OTR model. We followed the same vetting process every time and only brought on firms we felt would be a strong addition to the network.
Where we are today
Since 2015, OTR has partnered with over 2,000 law firms across all 50 states. Together, we help tens of thousands of clients each month navigate the legal system, protect their driving records, and minimize the impact of serious charges.
We believe we have built the largest and most experienced network of traffic and criminal defense attorneys in the country. And that network is still growing — new attorneys and firms join OTR every week.
Our not-so-secret sauce
OTR only works because of our partner attorneys and firms. These are lawyers who care deeply about their clients, who practice with intention, and who are great at what they do. Our partner network is our not-so-secret sauce — and we are incredibly proud of every firm we work with.
Every attorney is vetted
We do not accept just anyone into the network. Before a firm can join OTR, we review their background, experience, licensing, and track record. Only firms that meet our standards are brought on board.
This means when you book a case on OTR, you are working with an attorney who has been reviewed and approved — not someone picked at random.
Getting into the network is just the beginning. We track the performance of every partner firm and attorney on an ongoing basis. Here is what we look at:
- Court outcomes
Are results as strong as those of peers in the same region and for the same case types?
- Client satisfaction and bedside manner
We pay close attention to how attorneys and their staff treat clients. If an attorney or their team shows poor interpersonal judgment, we do not keep them on the platform. You deserve to be treated with respect and empathy — especially when you are dealing with a stressful legal situation.
- Responsiveness
Is the attorney meeting our standards for response times, case updates, and client communication?
- Platform usage
Is the firm using the OTR platform effectively to manage cases and keep clients informed?
If an attorney's performance drops below their peers, we step in to understand why. If the issues continue, we stop sending them cases and end the relationship.
We are not afraid to remove attorneys from the platform when needed. That is a big part of why OTR is so highly rated across review sites and why we maintain a 97% success rate nationwide.
We often catch problems early
Because we watch performance data closely and look for red flags, OTR has been able to identify issues with specific attorneys months, and in some cases years, before their own State Bar took action. We have documented cases where we removed an attorney from the platform well before regulatory bodies caught the same problems.
This level of oversight is rare in the legal industry — and it is one more reason you can feel confident booking through OTR.
Why a bigger network means better results for you
The more partner attorneys we have, the more choices we have when matching your case. Instead of being locked in to one lawyer, OTR can select the attorney with the exact experience and track record your case needs — in the specific court where your case is filed.
This is how we achieve a 97% success rate. More partners means more options, and more options means better matches.
Competitive fees built in
Each partner firm sets its own fees, but because our network is large, attorneys compete for cases. This built-in competition means OTR offers some of the most competitive legal fees in the industry.
