I'm guessing their power of attorney is (despite the name) specifically constructed so that they're acting directly as a proxy for you rather than in the capacity of of a lawyer. It's organized by a company, but the intent seems to be for it be legally identical to you paying a friend who knows city hall really well to go go send in some forms for you.
There's no legal advice involved, too, as far as I can tell. They give you a percentage chance of successfully fighting the ticket (I wonder how they determine that?), but after that it's basically a black box process: they handle everything for you, and you find out at the end if they were successful or not.
There's also "this service is not available in the State of Georgia" in the footer, which is both interesting and suggests they've done their homework on this, since you wouldn't see a disclaimer for a market they're not even in yet if they hadn't. I'm curious why Georgia is unavailable - maybe something to do with power of attorney law there?
