"C.O.P.S. Ltd. boasts a rich history, spanning back to its inception in 1986, where it stood as a pioneering force in its industry. Founded by Rick Sloan, our founder, C.O.P.S. played a pivotal role in reshaping the legal landscape by employing comprehensive disclosure preparation and charter motions to vigorously defend our clients.

​

Back in those days, your only recourse for addressing a traffic ticket or accident was through lawyers. However, few possessed specialized expertise in this field, and legal fees often soared to exorbitant levels. Many lawyers regarded (and some still do) traffic offenses as minor matters. Yet, certain regulatory acts, like the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, carry substantial penalties. For instance, a conviction for driving without insurance mandates a minimum fine of $5,000, which, when coupled with the Victim of Crime Surcharge, surpasses $6,000. Few can readily produce a $6,000 check to settle a fine.

​

Moreover, certain charges with seemingly minor fines can inflate your insurance rates by thousands of dollars, akin to the penalties for a convicted impaired driver. We at C.O.P.S. vehemently reject the notion of these offenses as minor.

​

Hence, the birth of C.O.P.S., offering expert representation at an affordable price. Bill Lashley, a former Toronto "traffic unit" police officer with qualifications in radar operation and instruction, adds a wealth of experience. Having investigated thousands of accidents, including those involving fatalities, Bill's expertise is truly invaluable. We've even received requests from lawyers seeking our assistance.

​

Our court agents, composed of former police officers, prosecutors, and retired justices of the peace, are highly adept in this specialized area of law. All our representatives are licensed paralegals, as per the Law Society of Ontario, and officers of the court, in accordance with recent convocations. This level of experience is what C.O.P.S. is proud to offer you."
