Looking for a Traffic Ticket Lawyer in Toronto?
If you’re searching for a traffic ticket lawyer in Toronto, you’re not alone. Thousands of drivers across the GTA need legal help every year to deal with traffic tickets that carry demerit points, insurance increases, and licence suspensions.
Here’s what most people don’t know: in Ontario, the Law Society authorizes licensed paralegals to represent clients at Provincial Offences Court, the same court where traffic tickets are heard. Most representatives in traffic court are paralegals, not lawyers. This is important because paralegals who focus exclusively on traffic tickets attend court daily, understand the process inside and out, and charge significantly less than a lawyer would for the same work.
At Sturino Walker Legal, every member of our team is a licensed paralegal. We focus on two areas of law: traffic tickets and landlord tenant board matters. That specialization means you get a level of expertise that a general practice law firm cannot match, at a fraction of the cost.
Traffic Ticket We Handle
Our team handles every type of traffic ticket issued under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Whether you received a minor infraction or a serious charge, we can help. Here are the most common tickets we fight:
Speeding Tickets – From minor speeding to 50 km/h or more over the limit. We fight speeding tickets across all GTA courts.
Stunt Driving – 40 km/h over in zones 70 or below, 50 km/h over in zones 80+. We handle the summons, court appearances, and work to get the charge withdrawn or reduced.
Careless Driving – One of the most serious charges under the HTA. Carries 6 demerit points, fines up to $2,000, and possible jail time. We have extensive experience fighting careless driving charges.
Stop Sign Tickets – Including rolling stop violations. 3 demerit points and a $110 fine. We challenge the officer’s observations and evidence to get these dismissed.
Red Light Tickets – Officer-issued tickets carry 3 demerit points and a $325 fine. We know the difference between camera and officer tickets and how to fight each one.
Disobey Sign Tickets – Including proceed contrary to sign charges. 2 demerit points and a $110 fine. Often used as a lesser charge for speeding or stop sign violations.
Other HTA Charges – Following too closely, failure to yield, improper turns, driving without insurance, and any other charge under the Highway Traffic Act.

Why Hire a Paralegal Instead of a Lawyer for Traffic Tickets?
In Ontario, licensed paralegals are authorized by the Law Society to represent clients at Provincial Offences Court. For traffic ticket matters, hiring a paralegal is often the smarter choice. Here’s why:
We’re in traffic court daily – While a lawyer might handle one or two traffic matters a month, our paralegals are at the traffic ticket courts regularly. We know the prosecutors, we know the court procedures, and we know how to present your case effectively.
Significantly lower cost – Paralegal fees are typically a fraction of what a lawyer charges for the same work. We offer flat-fee pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront with no hourly surprises.
Specialized focus – We don’t practice family law, real estate, or corporate law. Our entire focus is traffic tickets and landlord-tenant matters. That specialization means better results for you.
Authorized by the Law Society – Licensed paralegals are regulated by the same body that regulates lawyers. You receive professional, accountable representation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does it cost to hire a traffic ticket lawyer in Ontario?
A: Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the charge. At Sturino Walker Legal, we offer flat-fee pricing, meaning you pay one price and we handle everything. Our paralegal fees are significantly less than what a lawyer would charge. Call us at 905-738-7171 for a free quote on your specific ticket.
Q: Do I need to go to court for my traffic ticket?
A: In most cases, no. When you hire Sturino Walker Legal, our paralegal attends court and represents you. You can go to work while we fight your ticket. You are welcome to attend if you wish, but it is not required.
Q: What is the difference between a traffic ticket lawyer and a paralegal?
A: In Ontario, both lawyers and licensed paralegals can represent you for traffic tickets at Provincial Offences Court. Paralegals who specialize in traffic tickets attend court daily and typically charge significantly less than lawyers. At Sturino Walker Legal, all our representatives are licensed paralegals regulated by the Law Society of Ontario.
Q: Can you fight a traffic ticket in Ontario?
A: Yes. Every traffic ticket can be fought at trial. The prosecution must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence is insufficient, the officer doesn’t attend, or there are procedural errors, the charge can be withdrawn or dismissed. We fight traffic tickets across the GTA daily.
Q: What happens if I just pay my traffic ticket?
A: Paying your traffic ticket is the same as pleading guilty. You will receive demerit points on your licence, the conviction will stay on your driving record for 3 years, and your insurance rates will likely increase. The only way to avoid these consequences is to fight the ticket at trial.
Q: How long does it take to fight a traffic ticket in Ontario?
A: The timeline depends on the court location and how busy the courts are. On average, the process takes several months from filing the ticket to your trial date. During this time, the ticket does not go on your record, no demerit points are added, and your insurance is not affected until a guilty finding is entered.
