Discuss your certificate and criminal case together
A Legal Aid certificate authorises covered services from a lawyer who accepts it. Stratton Law accepts eligible criminal certificates, subject to the scope of coverage, a conflict check, and availability. Contacting the firm does not itself confirm representation.
Preparing your criminal Legal Aid representation consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The charge and court file identified in your documents
- Your certificate number and the services it authorises
- The next appearance and any urgent issue involving detention or conditions
- Whether coverage, conflicts, and availability allow the firm to accept the matter
What to do before you contact us
Have your certificate and court paperwork ready when you contact the office. If you have not applied, use Legal Aid Ontario’s official application information. LAO decides eligibility and coverage; the firm cannot guarantee approval.
Planning advice while living in Caledon
Before travelling from Caledon, identify the next date that needs attention: a consultation, a response deadline, or a court appearance. Keep the relevant document with that date. This gives the office a practical starting point for discussing availability and the preparation you need.
If a family member is helping arrange the call, identify who is seeking representation and give a reliable return number. Ask which documents to have ready and confirm the appointment at the Brampton office before setting out. A message to the firm does not confirm that an appearance will be covered.
Planning travel from Caledon for a court date
Use the court name on your summons or release papers when planning your journey. If those papers specify Brampton, the official location page gives its address and contacts. Do not choose a courthouse solely because it is closer to home.
Check Brampton court details if named on your documents
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
