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.
Identify the immediate issue in your Vaughan matter
Start your Vaughan enquiry with the issue that needs attention first: someone may be detained, a date may be approaching, or you may need to understand a restriction. Have the relevant document available rather than relying on a summary of what you remember being told.
Use the court named on your own paperwork when checking attendance details; residence in Vaughan alone does not identify the hearing location. Tell the office which arrangements affect work, housing, or transport, and ask what must be confirmed before making plans to attend a consultation in Brampton.
Confirm the court location for your Vaughan enquiry
If your paperwork names Newmarket Courthouse, its listed address is 50 Eagle Street West. Use the court’s own contact page to check the relevant office; living in Vaughan does not, by itself, establish where your proceeding will be heard.
Newmarket court information if it matches your paperwork
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.
