If a person travels to Toronto from upstate New York, as an example, and receives a traffic ticket, I advise that the ticket be disputed in traffic court. Why? Almost two-thirds of all traffic infractions are dismissed in court because police constables don't show up.
From TheStar.com: Sixty-three per cent of Toronto officers scheduled for traffic court don't show up, resulting in thousands of tickets being tossed out every year, police Chief Bill Blair says, acknowledging a "systemic" problem in the force. Consequently, a simple "I didn't do it" will suffice to get a ticket tossed in a majority of the cases.

Being in upstate New York, this is a good thing to know!

This was a fact but since the article was written the courts have changed things... Now Police officers are paid time and a half to be in court. Also the Courts are making things easier for them by organizing all their court dates on the same day. Things are becoming tougher and tougher for your to win a traffic ticket out there.

In the Province of Ontario, both lawyers and paralegals are required to be licensed by the Upper Law Society of Canada. So if we are talking about fighting a traffic ticket and certain areas of the criminal code, I would say that licensed Paralegals offer the most cost effective legal solutions. No Points Traffic Tickets has a solid reputation.
Any doubts, you should check out the write up their client and employee received in the Toronto Star recently.
