Why Choose Summit Paralegal Services?
At Summit Paralegal Services, we understand that receiving a traffic ticket can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Whether you’re worried about the fine, demerit points, or the long-term effects on your driving record, we’re here to help you make informed decisions and achieve the best possible outcome. Here’s what sets us apart:
1. Expertise in Ontario Traffic Law
Traffic law can be complicated, and understanding the full scope of your rights and responsibilities can be difficult. Our team is highly skilled in the Highway Traffic Act and other Ontario traffic regulations, meaning we know the ins and outs of the law. Whether you’re dealing with speeding, running a red light, failing to stop at a stop sign, or more serious charges, we know how to navigate the legal system to defend your case.
We don’t just represent you—we strategize, examine the details of your ticket, gather evidence, and craft the most effective defense possible. Our experience with Ontario’s traffic courts and procedures ensures that your case is in good hands.
2. Affordable, Transparent Pricing
Legal fees can quickly add up, especially when hiring a lawyer. Summit Paralegal Services offers affordable representation, without sacrificing quality. Paralegals are licensed professionals authorized by the Law Society of Ontario to provide legal services, and we’re able to offer our services at a fraction of the cost of hiring a lawyer. We believe in clear, upfront pricing so that there are no surprises, and we’ll always explain the cost structure before we start working on your case.
3. Personalized Legal Representation
Every case is different, and at Summit Paralegal Services, we take a personalized approach to each traffic ticket. When you hire us, we don’t treat your case as just another number—we take the time to fully understand your situation. We’ll listen to your side of the story, review the details of your ticket, and develop a strategy that’s tailored to your case. Whether you’re contesting the ticket in court, seeking to reduce fines, or looking for a way to avoid demerit points, we’ll provide you with the best possible options.
4. Legal Knowledge and Court Representation
One of the biggest challenges of contesting a traffic ticket is navigating the court system. Many people find the process overwhelming and confusing. When you hire Summit Paralegal Services, you don’t have to worry about paperwork, court procedures, or deadlines—we’ll handle it all for you. From requesting a trial to representing you in court, we’ll ensure you’re prepared every step of the way.
If you decide to fight the ticket, we’ll work on your behalf to build a strong case, gather evidence, and present a compelling argument in front of the judge. Our paralegals are skilled in negotiating with prosecutors, cross-examining witnesses, and ensuring that your rights are fully protected throughout the legal process.
5. Potential for Reduced Penalties
If you’re found guilty or if the evidence against you is strong, we may still be able to help minimize the impact. For instance, we can negotiate a reduced fine, or in some cases, work with the prosecution to reduce the number of demerit points associated with the ticket. This can help you avoid the long-term consequences of a conviction, such as a license suspension or significantly higher insurance premiums.
In some cases, we may be able to help you avoid a conviction altogether by getting the ticket dismissed or amended to a lesser charge. Having a skilled paralegal on your side increases your chances of achieving the best possible outcome.

We handle all the legal aspects, from filing documents to attending court, so you don’t have to take time off work or deal with the complexity of the legal system.

Common Traffic Violations We Handle
At Summit Paralegal Services, we represent clients in a wide range of traffic-related cases, including:
Speeding Tickets/Stunt Driving Charges
Stop Sign Violations
Running a Red Light
Distracted Driving (e.g., using a cell phone while driving)
Careless Driving
Driving Without Insurance
Driving with a Suspended License
Failure to Yield the Right of Way
If you’ve been ticketed for any of these or other traffic violations, we can help you fight the charge or negotiate a better deal.
Why You Should Fight Your Traffic Ticket
Even if the ticket seems straightforward, fighting a traffic ticket can save you money in the long run. Here’s why contesting the ticket could be a good idea:
Reduce or eliminate fines: We can negotiate with the prosecution to lower your fine or have it reduced.
Avoid demerit points: Depending on your driving record, accumulating too many demerit points can lead to higher insurance premiums or even a suspension of your license. Fighting the ticket might allow you to avoid points.
Preserve your driving record: A conviction for a traffic violation can impact your driving record, so contesting the ticket is a way to protect your record from negative marks.
