Traffic Tickets

How we can help ANY traffic ticket can have serious consequences to you that far exceed the fine and the cost of retaining professional assistance. Most insurance companies will constantly monitor your driver's abstract and increase your insurance substantially for what seems to you like minor infractions. They can legally hold a ticket against you for up to three years and, in the event of an accident, hold the infraction against you for up to six years. We will gladly discuss your situation by telephone at no cost to help you decide how to proceed and whether it is worth the cost of retaining our firm to defend you against the charges you face. You can reach us by phone at (403) 526-3001. Part 3 - Yellow Tickets These types of tickets have fines that range from $57 up to $702 and with demerits that range from 2 to 7 points. You will not be arrested if you do not appear, but you can be denied access to many motor vehicle services until the fine is paid. If this ticket will put you over the demerit point limit for the class of license you possess, your license will be suspended. If you are caught driving during the suspension period your vehicle will be impounded and you will face serious consequences. While some part 3 offences are not worth the cost of defending them, most require that you make every effort to have the charges reduced. We are experts at negotiating with the prosecutors and having the charges reduced or dropped to minimize your exposure to the other consequences discussed here. Part 2 - Pink Tickets This type of ticket requires a mandatory Court appearance and can result in substantial fines and the potential of losing your license or jail time. You NEED to invest in quality representation for all of these serious matters. We have many years of experience and have worked with most, if not all, of the prosecutors and commissioners who will be involved with your case. This allows us to put all favorable evidence in front of the Court and negotiate the best possible resolution to your matter. Failure to appear on these types of tickets on the specified court date will result in the court issuing a warrant for your arrest. Criminal Code Driving (DUI, Refusal) Prior to changes in the Criminal Code, we actively defended clients who were charged with Impaired Driving and other driving related criminal code violations. Now that the law has changed, we can't appear in Court on your behalf. However, we can analyze your disclosure to determine if there are potential defenses that justify spending over $5,000 for an experienced lawyer. Our initial analysis of the Crown's case will provide you with an overview of the evidence and allow you make an informed decision of how to proceed with your defense. We can also provide lawyer referrals to experienced solicitors that specialize in these types of offences.
