Mr. Burd’s work has consistently focused on matters under the Provincial Offences Act and Highway Traffic Act, including complex and higher-stakes charges where outcomes carry significant consequences.

Trial Experience and Approach

With decades of courtroom involvement, Mr. Burd has conducted a substantial number of trials across Ontario. His approach reflects a clear understanding of how cases are actually decided—on the strength of evidence, the credibility of witnesses, and the ability to identify and challenge gaps in the prosecution’s case.

His trial work includes defending matters such as:

• Careless Driving and related collision cases
• Stunt Driving / Racing allegations
• No Insurance charges
• Fail to Remain and Fail to Stop for Police
• Commercial (CVOR) offences

These are cases where the margin for error is narrow. Mr. Burd’s experience allows him to assess early whether a matter is best resolved through negotiation or advanced to trial, and to act accordingly.

With over three decades in practice, Mr. Burd provides direct, grounded answers based on how these matters typically unfold in Ontario courts.

He understands the procedural realities: how disclosure is provided, what is often missing, how prosecutors approach resolution, and what can realistically be achieved at trial. That perspective allows for clear guidance at each stage of the process.
