Traffic Tickets
Pleading guilty to a traffic ticket and paying a fine without getting legal advice can be a very costly mistake, especially when it impacts your insurance rates. At Haider Khan Legal, we understand the impact that a conviction from a charge can have on your life. This is why our target is always to get your charges completely withdrawn or dismissed. In the event that this is not possible, then we will work to get the best results possible.
SAFEGUARD YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND DRIVING PRIVILEGES!
If you have received a charge for an Ontario driving offence, including any Ontario traffic ticket, laid by a police officer and want to avoid a conviction, to protect your insurance premiums and licence, call us for a free consultation. We will provide you with honest, candid advice about whether we think we can help you fight the charge, minimize the consequences, and protect your driving privileges, including hefty fines. When faced with a charge, it may be tempting to pay the fine and move on. However, it is worth considering traffic ticket defence. A skilled paralegal or lawyer can help you understand your options and develop a strategy to fight the charge or reduce its penalties. This can save you money in fines and insurance premiums in the long run. It’s important to act quickly as there are often time limits for contesting a charge. See below for: (1) A penalty chart for different charges and (2) the different types of offences that we commonly defend.
