Basically what most of these people do is locate a lawyer for you in the jurisdiction where the ticket was received. Supposedly, you are given a discount rate for the attorney they secure for you.

its probably the same level of 'legal education' as you'd have got from the service anyway. I think those 'pre-paid' services are for those newbie lawyers who dont really want to spend the time to make a good name for themselves, or want their own 'firms' name on business cards they hand out.
either that, or its just for a bunch of interns looking for work. either way, its no different than those loser lawyers who have such a deep bench of people who actually use them, so they look for 'work' by spending $400-500/mo on bilboards showing them holding a phone in a rented $2,000 suit.
