I have been subjected to baseless accusations, and multiple individuals have severely misled the police, resulting in my arrest four times. My wife is a university professor, and my two sons are outstanding students majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science at prestigious universities. My daughter is the figure skating champion of Ontario, having won both gold and silver medals! My three children have diverse interests, including ice hockey, violin, piano, swimming, figure skating, and ballet… I have a hardworking and wonderful family. However, due to the conspiracy and persecution by multiple individuals, who colluded to mislead the police, I faced criminal charges. In the darkest and most helpless moment of my life, I met Lawyer HUSSAIN. I feel that he is professional, dedicated, meticulous, and thorough in considering every aspect of a case. I believe that once Lawyer HUSSAIN decides to take on any case, he will spare no effort and fight tirelessly through his professional expertise to protect the legal rights of his clients. He is a brave warrior in the legal field, standing up for fairness and justice! Lawyer HUSSAIN will represent me as my defense attorney on the upcoming TRIAL Day!

How are legal fees structured at Lex Defensio?2026-09-27T22:45:49+00:00

We offer transparent fee arrangements tailored to the legal matter. Many services—such as specific LTB filings, Provincial Offences defense, and Notary services—are billed on a predictable flat-block fee, while complex litigation is billed at competitive hourly rates.

Do I need an appointment for Notary Public or Commissioning services?2026-09-27T22:45:49+00:00

While we welcome scheduled appointments for complex multi-document notarizations, we also offer quick virtual and in-person notary sessions for affidavits, statutory declarations, and certified true copies.

What penalties am I facing for a Highway Traffic Act charge like Stunt Driving?2026-09-27T22:45:49+00:00

Stunt driving and severe provincial offences carry immediate driver’s license suspensions, vehicle impoundments, heavy mandatory fines, potential jail time, and severe insurance rate increases. We represent you in court to seek charge reductions or full dismissals.

Can Lex Defensio help appeal a rejected Canadian visa or sponsorship application?2026-09-27T22:45:49+00:00

Yes. We assist clients with reconsideration requests, immigration appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD), and applications for Judicial Review before the Federal Court of Canada.

What should I do if I receive a criminal charge or summons in Ontario?2026-09-27T22:45:49+00:00

Contact a legal representative immediately before making statements to police or prosecutors. Mahmood Hussain can represent you at your bail hearing, secure initial prosecution disclosure, and build a defense strategy designed to protect your record.
