Two years ago I was charged, having reportedly broken The Quarantine Act, when indeed, all I was trying to do was protect myself and others by choosing not to enter a government approved quarantine hotel, many of which had COVID outbreaks themselves. It seemed somewhat punitive for the Government to charge $329 a night when the same room was available online for $99. I was an early COVID adopter having spent almost a month in Southlake, much of which time I was intubated in an induced coma. I am, indeed, lucky to still be here. For me this was a matter of principal. Jenna generously took up my case, despite there being a poor track record of prior tickets of the same charge having gone to court.Jenna, stood the ground for me (and hopefully for others by setting president). She was by my side all the way and had my back. After 2 years of stressing over the matter and a multi-thousand dollar potential fine, Jenna, her tenacity, professionalism and die-hard belief, stood strong and the case, on the eve of my trail, was thrown out due to insufficient evidence to stand trial...all thanks to Jenna. No conviction. No fine. I cannot speak more highly of Jenna and I would not hesitate in recommending her, or indeed, using her again but hopefully not! You are such an ambassador for your craft Jenna. Thank you.

If you are looking for someone to represent you with a traffic violation, you can trust Lighthouse Legal.My representation lost my case initially on charges laid for an improper u-turn violation. Brian reopened my file, fought and won on my behalf.What makes my circumstance unique is that no other case had been previously won for this particular violation. This is in spite of potentially hundreds of charges laid for the same infraction.If that isn’t a solid example of going above and beyond to exceed your client’s expectations; I don’t know what is. There is no other person that I would put my trust in. You can feel confident entrusting Lighthouse Legal with any violation or traffic charge.Brian is professional, experienced, results driven and exceptionally knowledgeable. He works relentlessly with your best interests at heart as though they are his own. I highly recommend his services and have sent many ecstatic clients his way. Look no further if you are looking for representation for a traffic violation or ticket. Call Brian Morris at Lighthouse Legal. Thanks again Brian!!

Superior service ! Highly recommended to anyone who need to fight off their traffic violation tickets. Brian helped me to win the case and had successfully withdrawn both demerit points & fine that were originally charged against me. Thanks to Brian, my insurance premium will not be affected when it's due for renewal next year. Two thumbs up to Lighthouse Legal Service, Aurora ON !!

Brian from Lighthouse Legal Services did a great job in reducing my speeding ticket. The process was very simple: After calling Brian to explain the story, I sent him my details, he gave me my options and from there everything was taken care of. Based on my positive results I highly recommend Brian at Lighthouse Legal Services. Hopefilly won't need to but would not hesitate to use him again!

I'm giving Brian at Lighthouse 5 stars, this obviously means I won. I was charged with a serious driving offence (not DUI) which I was not guilty of. I never questioned my being not guilty but had never had to deal with this type of thing so it caused me great stress. Anyway, Brian made it easy, didn't request anything other than my story and his fee (which was very fair). A business day after my court date, he calls me and says everything is dropped. I hope I never have to but I would use him again.Thanks Brian,Josh

I am thankful that Mr. Brian Morris launched Lighthouse Legal. Knowing who he is as an individual and what he does for his community was enough for me to make the decision in choosing him to represent me. The character of an individual is very important to me when deciding to enter into a personal or business relationship and Brian is someone who demonstrates tremendous character. He and his representatives are very professional and absolute experts in their craft. I fully recommend Lighthouse Legal to anyone! I would like to finish with a quote that I feel best represents not only Brian but his firm;"Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people." Dennis Prager

With 33 other reviews before mine and a perfect score of 5 stars throughout them all, I can undoubtedly say that I completely understand why! The team at Lighthouse is tenacious, forthcoming, fast and incredibly knowledgeable in their area of expertise. Lighthouse took care of everything for me from start to finish. Brian kept me in the know for the entire time and was quick to reply to any emails and calls with all the answers to my questions. I had shopped around elsewhere for quotes for quite some time before finally finding the right fit for me. Their price was impossible to beat! If you go elsewhere, you'd be wasting your time and money. I plan on using Lighthouse in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking to find the best price for such impeccable service. Heres to another 5 stars!

I wish I knew Brian 10 years ago. He is an professional and simply one of the best. He was able to help my wife and myself get out of two very costly tickets. I’m still in awe of what he was able to do. I thank God for using him to help us. After all of that, he gave us a written report and some add advice on how to move forward. I highly recommend them. Thanks so much. Blessings.

Brian handled a "failing to stop for a red light" charge I had while driving my motorcycle. We went to trial, with a very unique case. Brian found a vaguely similar case in BC and was able to get the case dismissed! He's a fantastic lawyer and amazing in the court room. The prosecutors were not happy to lose this one.

He knows his stuff. And seems to enjoy his work. They are open on Saturday so that is a huge plus, no missing work to get things started. I've utilized one of the competitors before and I felt like I just handed several hundred dollars to a corporation that didnt know my name. It was like i was just the sum of my speeding ticket. All they did was take my money and pay my ticket. With Lighthouse you're getting professional legal services and you won't feel like you're just a court date. The prices are very reasonable and I got to talk with the guy who actually handles the case.
