About Acosta Legal Services

One of the highest-rated law firms in Toronto, going by its Google reviews.

Acosta Legal Services is a Toronto firm that represents clients on traffic tickets, DUI and impaired driving charges, and criminal matters under the Highway Traffic Act, the Provincial Offences Act, and the Criminal Code. Maikell M. Acosta founded the firm in 2014 and is a licensed member of the Law Society of Ontario. The firm's about page states that Acosta has more than 14 years of experience representing clients across Ontario in traffic, DUI, criminal, and Provincial Offences matters, with more than 9,000 cases handled, and has also spent more than 8 years teaching law and training future legal professionals.

The practice has grown since then. The firm's about page says more than ten team members now work alongside Acosta, pooling resources across cases, and that the team is fluent in Spanish, English, Italian, and Russian so clients can get help in more than one language. Acosta Legal Services runs from a single Toronto office but takes cases from across the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Newmarket, and Richmond Hill, and offers free consultations for people working through a traffic, DUI, or criminal charge.

The neighbourhood

Acosta Legal Services works out of a single office on Sheppard Avenue West, right at the Yonge Street intersection, in an area a commercial real estate listing labels North York Centre, Yonge and Sheppard. That puts the office close to Sheppard-Yonge station, the interchange between the TTC's Line 1 and Line 4 subway lines. Good transit access fits a practice that says it takes traffic, DUI, and criminal cases from Mississauga, Brampton, Scarborough, Newmarket, and Richmond Hill as well as Toronto itself.
