Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Bradford criminal cases heard?
Bradford-originating criminal cases are heard at the Newmarket Courthouse at 50 Eagle Street West, Newmarket, ON L3Y 6B1, or at the Barrie Courthouse at 75 Mulcaster Street, depending on the charge. Both Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice matters are heard at those buildings.
What should I do if I have been charged by South Simcoe Police or the OPP in Bradford?
Do not speak to police beyond identifying yourself. Anything you say can be used against you at trial. Retain a criminal defence lawyer before your first appearance.
Does Daniel Brown Law represent Bradford clients?
Yes. The lawyers at Daniel Brown Law defend Bradford clients at the Newmarket and Barrie courthouses on impaired driving, assault, domestic assault, sexual offences, weapons charges, drug offences, fraud, and homicide.
Does having a lawyer at a bail hearing in Bradford matter?
It often makes the difference between release and detention. A contested bail hearing requires counsel to address the Crown's position, propose a release plan, and call sureties where needed.
What happens at a first appearance for a Bradford charge?
Nothing is decided at a first appearance. The court confirms you have counsel and sets the next date so disclosure can be reviewed. Your lawyer can appear on your behalf so you do not need to attend in person.
