About X-COPS

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

X-COPS is a small Toronto firm, formally X-COPS Traffic Legal Services Professional Corporation, that has focused only on traffic tickets and driving offences since 2009. The team combines independent licensed paralegals, DUI lawyers, and former police officers and prosecutors. Under Law Society of Ontario rules, the paralegals handle traffic ticket matters directly, and for more serious criminal driving charges the firm brings in one of its DUI lawyers or refers the file to an outside criminal lawyer.

The firm's caseload spans the full range of Ontario driving charges: speeding, careless and dangerous driving, stunt driving, impaired driving and over 80 charges, driving without a licence or insurance, distracted driving, fail to remain, and Highway Traffic Act infractions like HOV, seat belt, and red light violations. It's based at 6 John Street in Toronto's Weston neighbourhood and takes cases from clients across the Greater Toronto Area, along with Ottawa, Hamilton, and London.

X-COPS offers a free, confidential initial case review with no obligation. The office is open until 9pm, and the team meets clients on weekends, after hours, and at their homes when a daytime office visit isn't practical.

The neighbourhood

X-COPS meets clients by appointment at 6 John Street in Weston, a Toronto neighbourhood south of Highway 400 and east of the Humber River. Weston started as a mill settlement in the 1790s, became its own town in 1914, and wasn't folded into the City of Toronto until the 1998 amalgamation, so it still has an older, town-like commercial strip along Weston Road rather than a downtown high rise feel. That distance from the downtown court district is part of why the firm builds its practice around flexible, off site and after hours meetings instead of walk in office visits.

Frequently asked questions

Can X-COPS help fight a speeding ticket in Ontario?
Yes. Speeding is treated as an absolute liability offence in Ontario, so the firm's approach is to request disclosure of the officer's evidence and radar or LIDAR readings and look for weaknesses in it, rather than argue a personal excuse, since the site notes that only a genuine emergency defence meets the very high standard courts require.
I was charged with stunt driving, how serious is that?
Stunt driving in Ontario carries an immediate roadside licence suspension and vehicle impoundment even before a conviction, on top of fines and demerit points, with the licence suspension on conviction running longer for a second offence and reaching a lifetime suspension for a third. X-COPS reviews the speed evidence and how it was measured to see whether the charge actually meets the legal threshold.
Does X-COPS handle DUI and over 80 charges?
Yes, the team includes DUI lawyers, and for matters within their scope paralegals can act too, consistent with Law Society of Ontario rules; for more serious criminal charges the firm brings in a criminal lawyer. Not every case goes to trial, and the firm's site notes that some charges get resolved or reduced before trial.
Does X-COPS only take cases in Toronto?
No. The Toronto office serves clients across the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and Richmond Hill, and the firm also lists Ottawa, Hamilton, and London among the places it takes cases.
I can't get to the office during business hours, can I still meet with someone?
Yes. X-COPS offers a free, no obligation initial consultation and meets clients on evenings and weekends, including at their homes, in addition to office hours that run until 9pm.
How big is X-COPS and what do they focus on?
X-COPS describes itself as a small firm rather than a general practice. It combines licensed paralegals, DUI lawyers, and former police officers and prosecutors, and it has worked only on traffic tickets and driving related charges since 2009.
