Criminal Charges in Mississauga – Where Your Case Is Heard

Mississauga is part of Peel Region. Criminal charges involving Mississauga residents are heard at the Brampton Courthouse at 7755 Hurontario Street, Brampton, ON L6W 4T6 — the same Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice that serves Brampton and the rest of Peel Region.

This is a direct practical advantage for clients of Saggi Law Firm. Mandeep Saggi appears at Brampton Courthouse regularly, he is familiar with the local Crown attorneys, court scheduling practices, and judicial expectations at this court. That familiarity is not available from a lawyer who only occasionally appears in Peel Region.

Criminal matters arising in Mississauga from a roadside DUI stop on Highway 401 to an assault charge in Malton or Streetsville proceed through the same Brampton-based court system that Saggi Law Firm has worked in exclusively since 2009.

Criminal Defence Services for Mississauga Clients

Every criminal matter handled by Saggi Law Firm receives the direct, personal attention of Mandeep Saggi. No junior associates, no articling students appearing on your behalf.

DUI and Impaired Driving

Mississauga’s major arterials Highway 401, 403, 410, and the Queen Elizabeth Way see significant impaired driving enforcement. A charge under s. 320.14 of the Criminal Code carries a mandatory minimum fine, an automatic Ontario licence suspension, and a criminal record if convicted. Effective defences include challenging the validity of the initial traffic stop, the administration of the approved screening device, the officer’s compliance with your right to retain counsel, and the accuracy of the approved instrument used for formal breath testing.

Assault and Domestic Assault

Assault charges under s. 266 to s. 268 of the Criminal Code range from common assault to aggravated assault, with significantly different consequences at each level. Domestic assault charges frequently arising from disputes at residences across Mississauga’s Erin Mills, Port Credit, and Meadowvale communities typically result in automatic no-contact conditions separating the accused from their home and family before any hearing takes place. Early legal representation is essential to challenging those conditions and building a defence from the outset.

Bail Hearings and Bail Reviews

In Ontario, a person who is not released by police must be brought before a justice of the peace within 24 hours under s. 503 of the Criminal Code. A bail hearing determines whether the accused is released pending trial and on what conditions. Saggi Law Firm is available 24/7 for urgent bail hearing representation for Mississauga clients. For a detailed explanation of the bail hearing process, see our bail hearing guide.

Drug Offences

Drug charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act from possession to trafficking and production frequently turn on Charter challenges to how evidence was gathered. Unlawful vehicle searches, home searches without valid warrants, and detention without grounds are common issues in drug prosecutions. If evidence was obtained unlawfully, a successful Charter application under s. 24(2) may result in its exclusion and the withdrawal of the charge.

Theft, Fraud, and Property Offences

Mississauga’s large retail and commercial districts including Square One Shopping Centre and the Highway 401 corridor generate a significant volume of theft and fraud charges. Property offences under the Criminal Code range from theft under $5,000 to fraud over $5,000 under s. 380, with meaningfully different sentencing ranges. Saggi Law Firm has experience defending both summary and indictable property offences at Brampton Courthouse.

Firearms and Weapons Charges

Weapons charges in Ontario carry serious mandatory minimum sentences, particularly for prohibited and restricted firearms. Defences frequently involve Charter challenges to the search that uncovered the weapon and challenges to the Crown’s ability to prove the accused’s knowledge and control.
