Practice Areas:

Understanding the Local Court Process in Newmarket

If you’re facing charges in Newmarket, your matter will likely proceed through the Ontario Court of Justice or the Superior Court of Justice located at 50 Eagle Street West. Weisberg Law appears regularly in both courts and is well-versed in the practices unique to the York Region legal system.

For many charges, the first appearance is held in the Ontario Court of Justice. This is often a procedural date, not a trial. Our team handles these appearances efficiently while keeping you informed every step of the way. In more serious matters, such as indictable offences or those proceeding to preliminary inquiries or trials, your case may advance to the Superior Court.

We anticipate how the local Crown handles disclosure, plea discussions, and trial scheduling. Our familiarity with Newmarket’s legal environment allows us to manage your defence proactively and with strategic precision from the outset.

Protecting Your Reputation and Liberty

Many of our clients are professionals, business owners, or public figures in York Region who face enormous risks to their reputation. We understand that beyond legal consequences, criminal allegations can jeopardize careers, family relationships, and personal freedom.

Our lawyers provide confidential, high-level defence that respects the sensitivity of your circumstances. We build targeted legal strategies to challenge weak evidence, exclude improper police conduct, and reduce or eliminate your exposure to criminal penalties.

 

Fair and Transparent Rates

At Weisberg Law, our focus is on results and transparency. While we do not charge for brief phone calls, all retainer agreements are discussed in detail to ensure you understand the scope of services and legal strategy from day one.

We know how stressful criminal charges can be. Our goal is to ease that burden by being accessible, prepared, and decisive.
