Posted on Anthony SweeneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Blottman Law, represented by lawyer Leslie Rivas, for a Highway Traffic Act, s.78.1(1) – Driving with Hand-Held Communication Device charge. On the first day of proceedings, Ms. Rivas successfully had the ticket withdrawn. This meant no loss of demerit points, no licence suspension, nothing on my record, and over $200 saved compared to paying the fine, while also sparing me long-term insurance implications and added stress. Ms. Rivas explained the potential consequences clearly, guided me through the process with confidence, and delivered excellent results. I strongly recommend her and Blottman Law to anyone facing traffic charges in York Region or across Ontario.Posted on Al CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A driving under suspension charge occurs when a person operates a motor vehicle while their driver’s licence has been legally suspended.
Under Ontario law, drivers are prohibited from operating any vehicle until their licence has been fully reinstated.
Licence suspensions may occur for several reasons, including:
unpaid traffic tickets or fines
accumulation of demerit points
impaired driving offences
administrative suspensions
failure to appear in court
If you are caught driving during a suspension period, police may lay a charge under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act.
Even if you were unaware of the suspension, the charge can still be prosecuted.
A skilled traffic defence lawyer in Ontario can review the circumstances of your case and determine whether there are grounds to challenge the allegation.
Many drivers quickly pay their fines without realizing the snowball effect. Fighting a traffic ticket could save you far more in the long run.
Here’s how:
Insurance Increases: Convictions raise insurance rates for years. A single ticket can cost far more than the fine itself—especially if your child gets one and it hikes the whole family’s premiums.
Demerit Points: Tickets add points to your record. Too many points mean license suspensions. New drivers lose their license at 4 points, while fully licensed drivers face interviews at 8.
Licence Suspensions: Some charges like careless or distracted driving come with built-in suspensions, often hidden until it’s too late.
Employment Impact: Commercial drivers and those needing a clean record risk losing jobs or becoming uninsurable.
A ticket isn’t small—it’s a financial and career trap. Call us today for a free consultation and protect your driving record, your income, and your future.
A driving while suspended conviction can affect your ability to drive, work, and maintain affordable insurance.
Hiring a knowledgeable Ontario traffic ticket lawyer provides several advantages.
An experienced defence lawyer can:
analyze the evidence against you
identify legal weaknesses in the prosecution’s case
negotiate with prosecutors when appropriate
represent you in Ontario traffic court
work to reduce penalties or seek dismissal where possible
Traffic law cases often involve technical details that may not be obvious to someone unfamiliar with the legal system.
