Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

David,
I did a bit more searching, and can't believe the number of forum posts out there of people complaining about the Quebec courts when it comes to speeding tickets.

I found one case of someone who beat a ticket - it was a Rabbi rushing to a circumcision, and the judge accepted his argument.

There's another post I just found (from 2008) with some advice and suggested contacts:

Here's some of the pertinent stuff...

>>>
The courts are obliged to serve you in English or French as you choose ... you have a right to be tried in English or given an interpreter.

In Quebec the cops don't need to show up in court. So he might not be there. Although you can ask for a postponement, and state that you would like to summon the cop (witness). ...

Other than that, here are a few ticket lawyers/paralegals:
1. www.sosticket.ca They normally ask for people to contact them 7 days before the court date.
2. (514) 767-4398 This is the number of a guy, who is a lawyer. He is a moderator on montrealracing.com, is a biker and a tuner driver.
3. (514) 842-4649 this is the number for another lawyer - "Emile H Benamor"'

SOStickets is the cheapest one of the above. They charge $90+tx flat fee, which includes 2 points (if they get that off). For every extra point that they get off its an extra $60 i think. The other ones too are not very expensive, will just cost you $40-50 extra...

Another thing, montreal lawyers are more inclined on making plea bargains... If you don't want that then discuss that with them

Hope the above helps.

Good Luck, and keep us posted!
