In Ontario, paralegals are independently licensed legal professionals authorized by the Law Society of Ontario to provide legal services directly to the public. Their scope of practice includes traffic offences under the Highway Traffic Act and matters before the Provincial Offences Court. Paralegals are considered officers of the court and play a formal role in the justice system. They are bound by strict ethical standards, and are trained to act as your legal representative in court.

What makes paralegals especially effective in traffic matters is their focused expertise. Paralegals often concentrate solely on traffic violations and provincial offences. This specialization means they know the ins and outs of provincial courts, and are well-versed in the technical defenses that can make or break a case. Whether you’re facing a careless driving charge, speeding ticket, stunt driving allegation, or no insurance offence, a paralegal is equipped with the knowledge and skills that you deserve from a legal representative to advocate on your behalf. Paralegals also make legal representation more accessible as their services are often more affordable giving clients a balance of value, experience, and results.
