Burlington sits at the western end of Halton Region, bordered by Oakville to the east and Hamilton to the west. All Burlington criminal matters are heard at the Milton Courthouse at 491 Steeles Avenue East. Burlington is an affluent, stable community where many clients have clean records and are dealing with charges that arose from a single incident - a DUI on the QEW or Highway 403, a domestic dispute, or a moment of poor judgment. For that kind of first-offender profile, a favourable resolution is often achievable when the facts and background support it.
