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.
Explain the practical concerns behind your Etobicoke enquiry
Alongside the allegation, make a short list of the work, family, or travel questions prompting you to seek advice from Etobicoke. Bring the documents behind those questions. Where several notices are involved, keep each complete rather than combining instructions from different proceedings.
Check the current attendance information on your documents instead of using a court address saved from a previous case. Call the Brampton office to agree on consultation arrangements and ask how detailed records should be shared. The first online message can stay brief and avoid sensitive evidence.
Identify the Toronto court before leaving Etobicoke
When your documents specify 10 Armoury Street, the official Toronto court page provides the location’s contact details. Check your actual appearance instructions rather than relying on a saved address from an earlier case or an assumption based on your neighbourhood.
Official information for Toronto’s 10 Armoury Street location
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.
