PROVINCIAL OFFENCES APPEALS

Were you running your own trial?
Was the information not clear?
Were you not happy with the outcome?
Were you convicted without any notice?

File an Appeal

An appeal is a request to a higher court to review a lower court trial or other decision.

      • Trial court erred in law
      • Miscarriage of justice occurred
  3. Appeals Against Sentence (Judge may allow if):
      • Error in principle by the trial court
      • Failure to consider a relevant factor
      • Overemphasis on a factor
      • Sentence is clearly wrong

Reopening

Appeal Process

  • A Notice of Appeal is to be filed within 30 days (from the date of conviction)
  • Any Outstanding Fines should be paid and the proof of such payment is to be submitted with the Appeal.

I shopped around with a few known Traffic Ticket Paralegals and chose POINTTS™ Traffic Tickets because they listened to me and gave me clear options. There were no false promises and nor did they give me any hopes. I want to thank them for getting my charges dismissed and saving my demerits. I will recommend POINTTS™ to anyone who has received a Traffic Ticket and wants to fight it.

I called POINTTS™ and spoke with one representative and she was wonderful. They are very helpful, honest and are efficient with their communications. The representative that I had really did get me the best outcome possible given my situation. I would definitely choose them over X-Copper. That amazing!! 10 stars out of 5! Thank you so much. Hopefully won’t need your services in the future, but if I do there will be no hesitation.
