Ticket Defenders

Ticket Defenders Professional Corporation is the result of the joining of two historic paralegal companies in Ontario, going back decades. Streetwise Paralegal was a company founded by a retired Waterloo Regional Police Officer, Charlie Nagy. Charlie began the Firm in the early 1980s, so our roots actually go back well over 30 years. We are in fact older than all but only a few paralegal companies in the Province. In 1999 Kevin Burrows, a lawyer, purchased Streetwise from Charlie and hired a retired OPP Officer, Jim Wittig to handle the paralegal side of the Firm. Eventually, a former Prosecutor would take Jim's place, when Mr. Wittig moved on to begin his own independent practice, and then later to work as Provincial Prosecutor. In 2002, Kevin and his business partner purchased another paralegal firm called Ticket Defence, from Chuck Peltz, a retired Provincial Court Prosecutor who had entered into private practice after retirement from his Prosecutorial Position. Kevin's former business partner took over the running of the Firm for a number of years until Kevin re-purchased the entire Firm in 2013. That former partner, Ron Harper, is no longer associated with Ticket Defenders Professional Corporation in any way, and has no relationship to Ticket Defenders®*.
