Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

The fee is $250 plus 13% HST ($282.50 in all) for the work described on this page. Court, tribunal or government fees and other disbursements are extra. We confirm the scope and the fee in a written retainer agreement before any work starts.

What happens when I check out?

You book a time for your intake call, then save a card on Stripe's secure page. Nothing is charged today: the card is only charged later, for an invoice for work already done, as your retainer agreement sets out. A licensed paralegal confirms the details, checks for conflicts of interest and, if we can act for you, sends the retainer agreement. Fees paid before the work is done are held in our trust account.

Do camera tickets give demerit points?

No. Red light camera and speed camera tickets are issued to the vehicle's plate holder, so no demerit points are recorded against a driver.

Are speed cameras still used in Ontario?

Ontario ended municipal speed camera programs in November 2025, but a speed camera ticket issued before then may still need a response. Red light cameras are a separate program.

What happens if a camera ticket is not paid?

An unpaid fine may stop you from renewing the vehicle's plate permit until it is paid.
