Where Your York Region Charge Will Be Heard
Criminal matters arising in Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and the surrounding area are generally heard at the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket, which runs on its own scheduling practices and set dates.
That matters practically. Court appearances mean travel from Richmond Hill, and a bail hearing date or set date that clashes with work becomes a real problem when the drive is part of the day.
A Richmond Hill Criminal Defence Lawyer who appears in Newmarket regularly can often anticipate how a matter will be scheduled and what the realistic timeline looks like.
