BULWARK WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND YOU!

  • NEVER Choose Option 1

    By choosing not to fight your traffic ticket, you are giving up the right to dispute evidence against you and a conviction can lead to some major headaches later on.

  • TRUE COST of a Traffic Ticket

    A Conviction, even a minor one, can affect your auto insurance rates. You may end up paying 15-200% more per year over 3-6 years.

  • All Criminal Charges

    We fight all traffic ticket offences, provincial offenses, and minor criminal charges.

  • Speeding Charge

    Whether you have a speeding ticket of 5 km/h over or 35 km/h over the speed limit, your auto insurance premiums will likely increase at renewal.

  • Careless Driving

    If you’ve been in an accident, you may have been issued a Careless Driving ticket. By fighting this ticket you may get a chance to reduce the charge to avoid hefty fines, a driver’s licence suspension, and a huge increase in auto insurance premiums – if your insurance company decides to renew your coverage at all.

Let our many years of policing expertise and
court experience work in your favour.

Our former police officers and prosecutors will take your case and assist in making sure that your driving privileges are preserved in a way that is positive and affordable. If you are stuck, frustrated, and fed up fighting your ticket, let us help you. Call us, email us, or visit us at our office at 62 Carden St in Guelph for a free initial consultation.
