We appear before both the Court of Quebec and the Montreal Municipal Court for provincial and municipal penal infractions. Montreal is the only city we serve with two distinct courts: criminal charges go to the Montreal Courthouse on Notre-Dame Street, while municipal tickets and by-law infractions go to the Municipal Court on Gosford Street. Knowing which court your file belongs to — and its deadlines — is the first step of your defence. Impaired Driving: https://mmavocatsmtl.com/en/domaines/alcool-au-volant Sexual Offences: https://mmavocatsmtl.com/en/domaines/crimes-sexuels Understand the possible consequences of a charge: https://mmavocatsmtl.com/calculateur-consequences ## Arrested in Montreal: your immediate rights An arrest never comes at the right time. If SPVM officers arrest you, you have the right to remain silent: give your identity, but decline to answer questions about the events before speaking to a lawyer. This right is guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Demand to speak to a lawyer as soon as you are arrested. Me Mahmoud answers emergencies 24/7 at 514-601-2404. If you are detained, duty counsel can also step in quickly. What you say in the hours that follow can change the outcome of your case: sign nothing and make no statement without legal advice. ## The path of a criminal case in Montreal, step by step After a charge is laid, the first appearance takes place at the Montreal Courthouse. If you are detained, a bail hearing may be needed to secure your release — often the most urgent step in the file. Next comes the analysis of the evidence disclosed by the prosecution. Me Mahmoud examines every element — statements, videos, police reports — to find weaknesses and violations of your rights. He then negotiates with the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) when it serves your interests, or prepares your trial before the Court of Quebec or the Superior Court. ## Driving offences and the Montreal Municipal Court Impaired driving, hit and run, dangerous driving: driving offences bring immediate consequences, including licence suspension and demerit points with the SAAQ. A quick defence can limit the impact on your driving record. Municipal tickets (noise, by-laws, Highway Safety Code) fall under the Montreal Municipal Court, a tribunal separate from the Courthouse. The firm contests these tickets and appears before this court regularly. ## Clear fees, announced upfront The initial phone consultation is free. After that, the firm works on flat fees: a fixed amount is agreed upon from the start, with no hourly billing and no surprises along the way. Personalized interest-free payment plans, up to 24 months depending on the case, let you spread the fees. Legal aid is also accepted for eligible clients. ### Charged in Montréal?
