Why Should I Choose Ticket Shield?
As you likely know, there are many options for traffic ticket defence firms. So, why should you choose Ticket Shield?
Experience
Ticket Shield has been assisting clients with EXCLUSIVELY traffic tickets and driving offences for over 10 years in the area where you received your ticket. We have helped thousands of people successfully fight their tickets in every court location in Ontario and will have many prior (similar) cases to refer to when helping with yours. Cases are treated very different depending on the city they were issued in. It is very important that you have a representative that is familiar with the nuance of your specific jurisdiction or they will be going in blind. Our experience allows us to come up with creative solutions that other firms may not be aware are even options.
Relationships
We have developed strong professional relationships with prosecutors and Justices of the Peace in every court location in Ontario over more than 10 years working in traffic court. This has allowed us to develop a reputation for being skilled and respected representatives that will do what it takes for their clients. Being able to leverage results for prior cases and trials allows us to provide a more convincing argument for why your case is “an exception” and should be shown more leniency than others. For legal matters like traffic tickets, the relationships with the prosecutor are often half the battle.
Secrets to Success
While we do not want to provide too much detail about the tactics that we use that distinguish us from other firms, one of the biggest factors is our approach. We use a 3-stage approach to dealing with a case.
The first stage is to build a defence based in the law. This includes finding relevant case law (prior cases), looking at the requirements of the offence itself, and reading through the disclosure material (evidence) to find weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case. If your ticket is going to be eliminated entirely, it would likely be in this stage.
The second stage is to leverage the relationships we have with the prosecutors, court staff and Justices of the Peace. We have spent over 10 years refining and strengthening these relationships so that we can make requests that other firms cannot. Our reputation for excellence generates the respect we need to ensure we are getting you the best possible outcome.
Finally, the third stage is to use creative problem solving and “outside-the-box” thinking to come up with solutions that allow us to get through obstacles and convince the prosecutor to make deals they otherwise would not. The details around these sort of solutions are what we consider a “trade secret” but we would be happy to discuss ideas unique to your case if you contact us.
Every Case is Unique
We appreciate that not every case is the same. We spend the time to LISTEN to you about the details of YOUR case. Sometimes even small details can make a big difference. We build your defence based on legal arguments, case law and refer to our experience with other similar cases. Ticket Shield makes sure that we understand your specific goals and will represent you with a focus on what they are.

Let us do the heavy lifting and ease your mind knowing that we are acting in your best interest. In most cases, you do not even need to attend court. Allow our experience, skills and determination to get you the best result possible for your case.
A Focus on Insurance Rates
Ticket Shield understands that automobile Insurance Rates are high enough and avoiding an increase is typically the primary reason why a person might fight their ticket. We understand how insurance companies usually calculate premiums and will assist you with achieving a result that best protects you. We always do everything in our power to keep your insurance rates as low as possible. It is our belief that we usually save the client a lot more money than they paid us.
Save Demerit Points
Many offences under the Highway Traffic Act have Demerit Points, which can impact your driving record for years or trigger a licence suspension. Ticket Shield can assist you in keeping these points off your driving record. In nearly all cases, the demerit points can be eliminated or reduced substantially.
