Arabic Traffic Ticket Lawyer in Mississauga and Across Ontario

If you are facing a charge under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA), getting advice early can protect your licence, your record and your insurance. At Rashidy & Associates, our traffic ticket lawyers [and licensed paralegals: confirm team makeup] provide professional, knowledgeable defence against a wide range of traffic charges in Mississauga and across the province.

Traffic tickets are provincial offences heard in the Ontario Court of Justice, and Mississauga tickets go to the local provincial offences court. To fight a ticket, you must choose a trial option within the deadline on the ticket, and in many cases a lawyer or paralegal can appear on your behalf. Depending on the evidence and your driving record, it may be possible to have the charge withdrawn or reduced to one with a lesser penalty.

Every ticket is different, and the right strategy depends on the facts, the disclosure and the demerit points at stake. Our team handles a wide range of HTA and related charges, including:

1. Speeding Tickets:

Speeding tickets are the most common traffic offence, and higher speeds bring more demerit points and larger fines. We review the evidence, including radar or laser records, assess possible defences and work to limit the impact on your driving record and insurance rates.

2. Red Light Tickets:

Red light tickets can arise from many situations, from officer-issued tickets to red light camera charges. Our team carefully reviews the evidence, including any photos or video, to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and pursue the best possible outcome.

3. Careless Driving:

Careless driving carries six demerit points, significant fines, a possible licence suspension and higher insurance rates. We analyze the collision reports, witness statements and disclosure to build a defence that protects your driving privileges. If you were hurt in the collision, see our personal injury page.

4. Driving Without Insurance:

Driving without insurance is charged under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act and carries a minimum fine of $5,000 on a first conviction. These charges need immediate attention. We assess your situation, explore possible defences and work to reduce the consequences you may face.

5. Stunt Driving Tickets:

Stunt driving brings an immediate 30-day roadside licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impoundment, with heavy fines and a longer suspension on conviction. We examine the speed evidence and the officer’s notes closely to build a strong defence on your behalf.

6. Driving While Using a Handheld Device:

Distracted driving charges carry large fines, demerit points and, for some drivers, a licence suspension. We scrutinize the evidence, challenge the charge where appropriate and work to reduce or avoid the penalties you may face.

7. Suspended Driving Charges:

If you have been charged with driving while suspended, we review why and when the suspension took effect, whether you were properly notified, and any defences available, and seek the best possible outcome for your case.

If you have already been convicted, we can also help with reopening applications and appeals. Note that impaired driving and dangerous driving are criminal charges, not tickets. For those, see our DUI lawyers and criminal defence pages.
