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.
Preparing for the next stage of a Newmarket matter
Tell us whether your Newmarket enquiry concerns a new charge or a case already underway. Keep correspondence, disclosure notices, and the most recent appearance document together. This helps distinguish work already completed from questions that still need a lawyer’s attention.
Keep your consultation date and court date as separate calendar entries, with the attendance instructions for each. Ask what you need to do personally and what the firm would handle if retained. Consultation arrangements are confirmed through Brampton; submitting the form does not arrange court attendance.
Preparing for an appearance at Newmarket Courthouse
Newmarket Courthouse is listed at 50 Eagle Street West. Its official page provides court and duty counsel contacts. If Newmarket is the court named in your case, use those details to resolve administrative questions and discuss legal questions with Karandeep Sahi.
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.
