Mississauga DUI Lawyer

Experience

I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. I chose my profession from an early age and took matters into my own hands to make sure my dream came to fruition. But I didn’t always know what kind of lawyer I wanted to be. On the contrary, the focus of my legal career chose me.

Criminal Defence Lawyer and DUI Expert

I’ve been a practicing criminal defence lawyer in Mississauga for over 25 years. Throughout my career, while I do defend a wide range of charges, my primary focus has been DUIs and impaired driving. With hundreds of successfully won cases, solid relationships with Crowns and Judges, and an open-door policy with other defence lawyers who regularly ask for my help, I’ve come to be known as an expert in the field.

A few years ago, a police officer hired me to defend his case after he was charged with a DUI. When I asked him how he found me, he said, “I asked my police friends who they lose to in court and they all said Jonathan Lapid, so here I am.”

Thorough, Determined and Compassionate

If there is anything my experience has taught me, it’s that you can never be too prepared. For every case I defend, I dive in wholeheartedly – searching, learning, examining and evaluating the details. I work every angle of your case to make sure the outcome is a successful one. And all the while, I never forget how difficult and stressful this situation is on you. That’s why I make it unquestionably clear that I am on your side throughout the legal process. Even when emotions run high, I help you work through issues rationally and calmly, and I am open and honest about your options.

Who I Serve:

My clients come from all walks of life. From the everyday person who made a single foolish mistake, right through to the well-known athlete or police officer who desperately needs to protect their reputation, I am a lawyer who fights every case to the end.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to defend:

• High profile business executives
• Professional athletes including NHL’ers and gold medal Olympians
• Police officers
• Lawyers

• Pilots and flight attendants
• Limousine drivers
• Factory workers

People Say I’m NOT Your Stereotypical Lawyer

My clients tell me I simply don’t fit the bill when it comes to what they thought about lawyers or the kinds of experiences they’ve had with lawyers in the past. I’m told that I have a very friendly and understanding demeanour. Within minutes, I have a way of letting my clients know that a) it’s going to be okay, and b) they can talk to me openly with complete confidentiality. Pick up the phone and give me a quick call – find out if you agree.
