Hi everyone, I received a "disobey stop sign - fail to stop" section 136(1)(a) ticket from a police officer sitting off to the side of a perpendicular street to the on I was on...I believe I did stop even if it was for a second I don't have any tickets like this before now but it is essentially the officer's word vs mine & the officer appeared to be a young and new officer Can any of you recommend a paralegal to help prepare for trial for this or to negotiate with the prosecutor on my behalf? To me a win would be a non-HTA ticket or a dismissal at trial (withdraw ticket), just lowering demerit points or reducing the ticket to a "disobey sign ticket" is NOT a win for me as my insurance still goes up because it is convictions not demerit points that raise your insurance premiums....The trial would take place in a Hamilton court Anyone work with Greg Eschweiler (trafficstop.ca) , Frank Alfano (http://www.trafficticketparalegal.com/o ... nk-alfano/ or http://www.wejustwin.ca/frank-alfano-paralegal.html ) , Jackie Manzon (thetrafficlawyers.ca , ticketdefenders.ca ) or Amber Smart (http://www.trafficticketparalegal.com/our-team/ http://www.smarttrafficdefence.com/about-us/ ) or worked with anyone at those firms? can you recommend any others that would be good to work with for Hamilton court? what about other firms like POINTTS, etc Are any of these paralegals good at being prepared for court or good at negotiating (more than just lowering demerit points or to a "disobey sign" because I could probably do that) with prosecutors? Do you know what the prosecutors are like in the Hamilton courts? are they tough when sitting on the stand? I appreciate your input as I am new at this

I used a company called Mg legal services. They got my charged dropped completely. I don't know whats the background with your charge but they did a good job. They did take a little while (with adjournments) but it was a flat fee and at the end it all worked out. That's who I suggest. Im pretty sure they deal with all of Ontario, you might want to give them a call.

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
