Traffic Tickets
Defending your licence, your record and your insurance rates
A traffic conviction can mean demerit points, higher insurance premiums, licence suspension and, for serious charges, jail. A ticket is not a foregone conclusion. We obtain disclosure, assess the Crown's evidence and fight for the best available result.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to respond to a ticket?
Generally 15 days from the date you received it to choose to pay, request a meeting or dispute the ticket. Late responses can result in a conviction by default.
Will paying the ticket hurt me?
Paying is a guilty plea. It adds demerit points and the conviction can raise insurance premiums for years.
Do I have to attend court myself?
In many cases a licensed paralegal can appear on your behalf. We will tell you if your personal attendance is required.
