EDIT: HIRED A NEW PARALEGAL GOT MY CHAGE WITHDRAWN. AVOID POINTTS
My initial phone call with them was pleasant. I made it clear that my main concern was not having my insurance record affected by a speeding charge. This was my 1st offense. I was hoping to have the case thrown out and expecting them to go to trial for me. I understood that if my case was not thrown out, I would face the full fine + demerit point deduction on my record. They assured me they would fight for my speeding charge and were prepared to go to trial. Every conversation after that changed after I paid them. During every phone call, I was encouraged to settle as it was unlikely I would get the charges thrown. I was surprised by the change in tone considering I had made it clear I wasn't interested in simply having my charges reduced; that would still be seen as a conviction on my insurance record. It would not make sense for me to pay them $450 to have a $300 fine reduced.

My paralegal, Edward Disenhouse, was terrible. He was condescending, interrupted me mid-sentence several times without apology, hung up the phone when I was mid-sentence several times, and gave unsatisfactory answers to my questions.

I asked him for a quote for an 11b and a rough timeline as to when I could receive a quote. I asked him if it would take several hours or days. He then said, "your court date isn't until xxx, you have so much time, I'm not giving you a timeline. " I also have a schedule and a busy life and didn't appreciate him disrespecting my time. He was also meant to call me at xxx time that day but did not. I had to call him 30 minutes later. Another time, I asked Edward if he could hold after picking up the phone. After 5 seconds (literally), he hung up the phone. I called again and he told me he doesn't hold for anyone.

Edward did not answer my questions. He throws legal jargon at me without addressing my concern. In regards to the 11b, he kept telling me that due to Covid, the courts were closed and my 2020 case was actually only delayed by 3 months not 2+ years. I asked him how he had gotten to the conclusion that my case was delayed 3 months on 3 different phone calls. Each time he didn't give me a clear answer. He would tell me that it depends on what system you're working off of and ramble. I asked other paralegals and not one told me the same thing. Edward was offended I asked other paralegals when he was the one who refused to answer my questions. He then said he refuses to file an 11b. He won't explain why and uses "I'm a paralegal" as his response. I've already called around to start the process of filing it with a more proficient paralegal.

Near the beginning of my case, I asked for my disclosure to be reviewed with me. I actually asked several times before they agreed to review it with me over a phone call. He read through it so quickly I couldn't catch a thing he said. When I asked him to slow down to the pace he was talking previously, he seemed annoyed. He said I could get a copy for $50 + HST instead.

There's also an extra charge for everything with POINTTS (it is in their contract). I called 5+ 5 star reviewed paralegals at random after I had already hired POINTTS as I was unhappy with the service I was receiving and realized that they charged a similar or cheaper rate but did not charge extra for the same items. At POINTTS, I was told after hiring them that I had to appear in court (altho no other paralegal requested this when I asked around). I was charged for disclosure records and charged for filing an 11b. The other paralegals I called all said that those items were not hard to do and were included in their rates. I hired POINTTS although they were a slight bit more expensive as I believed I would be receiving good service.

Edward is extremely aggressive, disrespectful and did not value my time. Every interaction I had with him left me frustrated. The few incidents in this post are only some of the negative interactions I had with Edward.

I was in a pretty bad accident and was charged a fine and 2 demerit points on my license. But thanks to them, they helped me get a lesser charge and I don't have demerit points on my license.

I have used Pointts several times over the years when needed and have always found their consultation, follow up and results to be better than expected. I recently called them on very short notice to represent me for an infraction and despite having only days to prepare they were able to successfully fight the charge and have it ultimately withdrawn by the Crown leaving me with no more infraction. While I hope I don't have to use them often, if I'm charged with any driving infraction in the future they will continue to be my first and only call.

I had a stellar experience with Brad from Pointts! Absolutely no stress for me leaving it all in his capable hands. The outcome was better than I had hoped for and my charges were completely dropped! I would highly recommend Pointts to anyone.

My experience with Edward was great! He had kept me updated the throughout the entire time & had my stunt driving charge dropped! Do not hesitate picking POINTTS, they’re worth it!

Edward Disenhouse is a legend! Helped me out of a tough speeding ticket. Got a great result in the end. Call these guys if you’re looking for help, totally worth it!

They were honest from the beginning about my chances of getting a positive result, though they sometimes delayed in their updates they nevertheless were quick in responding to my inquiries and provided me with all the information required and the end I got a favorable result with my charges withdrawn.

I would like to commend Edward and his team at Pointts for their professionalism and expertise. Edward's knowledge and experience helped resolve my matter in a timely and efficient manner. I would highly recommend Points to anyone looking for representation.

I have had good experiences with Pointts in the past, on several occasions. Dating back many years. On one occasion I even got the free advice of not fighting the ticket since the odds were not good and it could possibly gotten worse if I fought it. Other Paralegals were more than willing to take my money in that case.
Edward Disenhouse was very good to deal with on my recent ticket and I am very happy with the results. The speeding ticket was I thought a little excessive and a good officer would have reduced it on the scene. I had sped up to pass a slow car before the 2nd lane ended and slowed right back down but I got a 4 demerit point ticket. Pointts got the ticket reduced so there are no demerit points and the fine is much reduced down to $60.
I couldn't have asked for a better result and as always I will continue to recommend Pointts.

Edward was professional, competent, and courteous. Overall great representation. I would return if similar services are required in the future.

I was very pleased with their professionalism and attention to my personal needs that resulted in a very good outcome for me with the charges withdrawn, no conviction, no demerit points lost and of course no fine. I would definitely recommend POINTTS to anyone looking for representation in a traffic violation through the court system.

I am writing on behalf of a family member (who was issued the court summons after her involvement in a traffic accident). English is not her first language and she did not initially grasp the potential seriousness of the summons. As she grew more aware, she knew that she would not be able to adequately represent herself in court and she knew she would need some form of legal expertise.

After reviewing the options available, she engaged with the experienced folks at Pointts. In one session, they eased her into the process that would be followed, and the role that would be undertaken on her behalf by Pointts. They were in control and managing the stress factor.

Pointts autographed their work and their support with calmness and control. This was pivotal in this engagement as my relative knew the consequences of the summons/court appearance if not handled correctly. They urged us to remain at ease and that they would call if anything was needed. We did check but they assured us all was under control.

The outcome was better than expected. Pointts did a great job in managing our expectations and reducing the stress. We do highly recommend them.

I had an excellent experience with the people @ POINTTS. They managed to completely clear me off the charge with minimal cost and effort. My advice is to take as many pictures as you can from the scene and describe to them the truth in a text. Many thanks to Edward and Deborah

It's not a cheap service, but it was worth the money for me. Edward was very professional and was able to get the best possible outcome, also saving me from having to drive into the city (I live 4.5 hours away!). Would use them again, but hopefully won't have to:)

This was my first experience using Pointts and I was not disappointed! Edward and his team were fantastic, professional and completely understanding of my situation. The outcome was better than I could have expected and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

My wife and I have used them a few times, and always been happy with the service, and the out come. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to fight a traffic ticket

This was the second time I have gone to POINTTS and they have surpassed my expectations both times. Thank you so much for helping me out. I hope to never have to use them again, but if I do get in to a situation where I need their type of assistance again, I would go back to them without hesitation. They were always available and quick to respond whether by email or by phone. Very professional and provided me the best possible outcome.

Phenomenal service! I could not be happier. Called the office 1 day before my court date hoping for a simple extension because I couldn't make it and the next thing I knew, the charge was WITHDRAWN! These guys know their stuff. Thank you POINTTS.

Great people, they were very informative and easy to work with throughout my entire process. Would highly recommend POINTTS services to anyone who could use them!

Hired Poinnts to help me with a traffic related charge. The charge was a bit over the top considering I was stopped sitting at a red light and the office who wrote the ticket had a huge chip on his shoulder
Poinnts did an awesome job on my behalf, went to the court house and managed to get the charge and fine reduced. I know that's not going to always be the case, but this time it was and I was very pleased with their efforts.
Thank you Poinnts
