Traffic Ticket Lawyers & Paralegals Ottawa

The capital of Canada is one of the busiest of the Canadian cities. There are literally millions of visitors to the area yearly. The city itself experiences large traffic volumes. The traffic court of Ottawa is also one of the busiest courts in Ontario’s judicial system. The city itself generates income from the enforcement of the Provincial Offences Act. Since the city is in a position to earn an income by the enforcement of traffic laws, it does so with efficiency.
You may find yourself in the Ottawa area on vacation or as a professional truck driver or you may even be a resident of the area. If any of these are true it is possible for you to receive a traffic ticket. Now you will face the daunting challenge of trying to defend yourself in one of the busiest judicial districts in Ontario. It is overwhelming and frustrating if you are not legally trained to deal with this system. The Ottawa area handles more than 124,000 Provincial Offences Act trials in the year. It also handles over 4,000 Part III summonses. There are at least 6 full time prosecutors that deal with this volume.

The provincial offences court system in Ottawa is subjective. This means that you cannot predict which prosecutor you may face and certainly not the mood they may be in. If you are defending yourself it is a gamble as to whether or not you will be successful. Most clients are not in a position to gamble with their driver’s licenses or their insurance rates. As a result the OTD Legal team is contacted to assist them. We have handled hundreds of cases in this area and we guarantee that you would rather have a proven winner advocating for you than handle your case by yourself.

Many of the OTD clients have at least tried at some point in their lives to defend a Highway Traffic Act charge on their own. It usually results in a very bad experience for themselves, however it helps a future client understand the value in what we do to assist you. It is the usual case that once a defendant chooses the assistance of OTD Legal they usually remain loyal clients well into the future. It is common for our clients to refer their friends and family to us.

It was the original intention of the Highway Traffic Act to provide a people’s courtroom for persons to represent themselves. Our population and the complexity of the judicial system has made it difficult if not impossible for unrepresented persons to represent themselves. In light of this problem, we have tried to make our fees affordable for anyone facing charges. You can contact OTD Legal for professional, courteous and free consultations. You may not choose to retain our services but we will endeavour to provide you some assistance.
