Georgina sits at the northern edge of York Region along the shores of Lake Simcoe, with Keswick as its largest community. Criminal matters from Georgina are heard at the Newmarket Courthouse. Georgina is one of York Region's more rural communities and its criminal charges often involve impaired driving on Highway 48, Highway 404, and the surrounding county roads - an area where RIDE programs and traffic enforcement are regular. The distance from downtown legal services means many Georgina residents default to a lawyer who isn't familiar with their local context. I travel to Newmarket for every court appearance and represent Georgina clients personally.
