Peel Region
Caledon & Bolton Lawyers: Wills, Powers of Attorney and Criminal Defence
Caledon is the northern part of Peel Region, and it works differently from Brampton and Mississauga. It is a mix of growing towns like Bolton and Mayfield West, villages like Caledon East and Inglewood, and a lot of rural land: farms, acreages and equestrian properties. Policing and court locations are also different, which matters if you are facing a charge.
We act for Caledon clients from our Mississauga offices, a short drive down Highway 10 (Hurontario Street) or Highway 410. Most meetings can also be done by phone or video, which saves a long trip. We help with wills and powers of attorney, with criminal charges, and with real estate closings.

Wills & Powers of Attorney in Caledon and Bolton
Caledon families often own more than a house: a few acres, a family farm, a small business run from home, or land that has been in the family for generations. These situations need more care than a template will. Who gets the land, who lives there, and who runs the business all need clear answers, and a will that doesn't deal with them can leave relatives in dispute.
Powers of attorney matter just as much in a rural community, where family members may live far apart. A continuing power of attorney for property lets someone you trust pay bills and manage your finances if you can't, and a power of attorney for personal care lets them make health-care decisions. We also prepare Islamic wills and wills for newcomers with property abroad.

Criminal Defence Lawyer for Caledon
Caledon is policed by the Ontario Provincial Police rather than Peel Regional Police, so charges here follow a different path from Brampton or Mississauga. Where a Caledon charge is heard depends on the charge and the release paperwork, and it may be Brampton or Orangeville. Your release document will tell you where to attend, and we'll confirm it when we review your paperwork.
Long rural roads and highways mean many charges start with a traffic stop: impaired driving, over 80, refusal and stunt driving. Rural properties also bring firearms questions, from careless storage by licensed owners to possession charges. We defend those cases, along with assault, theft, fraud and drug charges, and we handle bail hearings and reviews.

OPP policing and the Orangeville courthouse
Because Caledon is policed by the OPP, charges laid here may be heard in Brampton or at the Orangeville Courthouse, 10 Louisa Street. Where you attend depends on the charge, so read your release document carefully and call us if it isn't clear.
Rural property and estate planning
Acreage, farms and family land raise questions that city homes don't: how to divide land fairly between children, how to keep a business running, and how to avoid forcing a sale. We help you plan for those questions in your will.

Our nearest offices are in Mississauga: 1-2355 Derry Rd E (near Highway 410) and 55 Village Centre Pl, Suite 200. Meetings are by appointment, and many can be done by phone or video. Call (289) 652-0529.
Where are criminal charges from Caledon heard?
It depends on the charge. It may be Brampton or the Orangeville Courthouse at 10 Louisa Street. Check your release document, and call us if it isn't clear. We appear at both courthouses.
Caledon is in Peel. Why is it policed by the OPP?
Caledon is served by the Ontario Provincial Police rather than Peel Regional Police. That can affect which court hears a charge and who the prosecutors are, so it's worth getting advice early.
I own a farm. Can a will deal with the land and the business?
Yes, and it should. A well-drafted will can say who inherits the land, who runs the business, and how other children are treated fairly. Without one, Ontario's rules decide.
I'm a licensed gun owner charged with careless storage. Can you help?
Yes. Cases like these can often be resolved in ways that protect your licence, depending on the facts. Call us before you speak to police about it.
Do you handle probate or estate administration?
No. We prepare wills and powers of attorney. We don't handle probate applications or estate administration.
