Unlike police officers who are indoctrinated to defer to authority, lawyers approach a file with a mixture of objectivity, cynicism and suspicion of overbearing police behaviour. The police have a role to enforce the laws of British Columbia and Canada. Lawyers who defend traffic tickets have the job of putting the police under the microscope.

Our lawyers are criminal and driving barristers, meaning we are court lawyers who defend cases in criminal court and traffic court.

In either case, years of refining the skills of cross examination allows us to get justice for our clients.

We know the police methods. We have their manuals and lots of their equipment. But the edge that you get with a lawyer to defend your traffic ticket is a professional with the skills in cross examining police witnesses attained through years of study, years of training and experience dealing with the police.
