Beware of Unprofessionalism and Poor Communication I had a very disappointing experience with Xcopper after hiring them for both a speeding ticket and a DUI case. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse after I made full payment for my speeding ticket and a partial payment for my DUI case. To start, the handling of my speeding ticket was sloppy, and my DUI case was treated with minimal attention. I later discovered that Xcopper frequently hires third-party lawyers to manage DUI cases, many of whom seemed inexperienced and unprofessional. Initially, I had no direct contact with the lawyer assigned to my case. After several weeks, I was finally assigned a lawyer who, unfortunately, lacked competence. From that point on, communication was virtually non-existent, and most of my interactions were with his assistant, who was not a legal professional. I spoke to my lawyer about twice for a few minutes: first was after I paid Xcopper and then another was for a brief 10-minute conversation, despite having scheduled a longer meeting. This lack of communication and professionalism gave me the impression that the firm was outsourcing cases to cut costs, at the expense of quality service for their clients. After paying thousands in legal fees, I received very little information about the progress of my case. After about two months, I was told by the assistant that my only options were to either plead guilty or go to trial, without any clear explanation of the reasoning behind these options. When I confronted my lawyer, he seemed indifferent and gave vague, unhelpful responses. He even suggested that, as a Canadian citizen, I could plead guilty and still be fine with a criminal record--an alarming and unprofessional statement. In the end, I was left with no choice but to fire the lawyer they assigned to me and hire a more competent attorney. The entire experience felt more like a money grab than a genuine effort to resolve my legal issues. I strongly advise caution if you're considering Xcopper. Their communication is poor, they don't thoroughly review your case or disclosures, and they fail to provide the level of care you'd expect from a law firm. For reference, the lawyer assigned to my case was Peter Dotsikas of Dotsikas Corporation. read more

I created a yelp account because they have been flagging all my reviews on Google which makes the review stay private where only the business and the person who posted it can see it and not the public, and the funny part about it is they pay to have fake positive reviews posted on Google haha! These frauds pay for fake reviews on Google! And Don't hire these guys they are frauds! Once they get your money they will push you to do early resolution which is something you can do yourself! And if you ask them to fight your ticket they make you attend the trial to fight for yourself! They also didn't want me to appeal the judge's decision saying it's impossible! I don't know why but they don't want you winning in court or at least that's the feeling I got from the experience (they are called x COPS for a reason) right now I'm in the process of appealing the judge's decision and I have discovered these guys had lied to me about so much stuff including giving me the wrong address to go to when I wanted to appeal the judge's decision... it's a Super shady firm I do not recommend these even to my enemies and judging from what I have heard they had filed bankruptcy when Google was still allowing negative reviews to be posted. Ps: if you think I'm lying try testing the reviews part yourself! Leave a negative low review on their Google and then try checking their reviews while you are signed out of Google or from another Google account and you will see how deceiving these people are. read more

Carol- Ann D - Toronto Ontario I recently had a collision with my 91 year old Mother in the car. This was my first and to say I was in shock was an understatement. Because of the nature of the collision the offense and ticket were most serious & I felt that I needed to challenge these so I called X-Copper and was so glad I did. Jenna and Victoria were most helpful, explained how the process worked and that I did not have to attend court at all as they took care of all appearances. They also assured me that the charges were almost surely be reduced which made me feel so much better. The final result was a much reduced ticket and charge which would not impact my car insurance. I would recommend them to anyone who gets into this situation. September 13, 2018 read more

Worst experience in my life. Not only do they charge way more than an actual lawyer would, my lawyer, Mr Dotsikas, has absolutely the worst professional demeanor I've seen. During our calls he called my case " absolutely horrible" and had nothing to add about potential outcomes. The first time I spoke to him I would add in things to correct what he was saying, and he replies " if your like this with me I can't imagine what the cops had to deal with". What kind of lawyer tells his client they are screwed, he is completely un optimistic and a supposed "expert" in his field but his work is that of anyone off the street. Avoid at all costs. Absolute garbage Pewter Dungsikas is read more

These guys are brutal!! Get everything in writing! They will want all your money up front. You must provide complete and accurate details of the incident in advance. They will represent you with either the prosecutor or go to court (for more money). But will never give you any feedback in writing! They are nothing more than negotiators to a lesser charge. If you are looking to get your ticket dismissed, they are not the people to use. They know all the police officers at personal level, all the prosecutors at a personal level, even the judges. Too friendly with the enemy for my comfort!! read more

I had an extremely good experience with the paralegals who assisted me with my Ticket. They were prompt and kept me in the loop regarding my charge as well as answered all my questions regarding my charge and the court appearances. They were able to get my driving charge thrown out. I would highly recommend and remind anyone who uses x-copper (or any paralegal firm regarding a traffic violation) is to never be afraid to ask questions regarding your charge, the court dates and what is going on. They are more than happy to discuss the matter with you. read more

XCopper has helped me a great deal, I appreciate their services and kindness through everything I have been going through on top of the ticket I got... from 7 demerit points they got me down to 0 demerits and I just have to pay a very small fine... initially I was charged with fail to remain which is the worst thing you can get charged with, they heard my side out and fought for me hard... Thank you for your services to the representatives of the Mississauga and Brampton locations.. God Bless You :) read more

If you're considering X-Copper, please ask for Jenna Little. She has close to a decade of experience handling cases and was a great success in the Mississauga location! Jenna is incredibly efficient and organized; she will sit with you and take the time to understand the who, what, when, where and why of your case, and bring her best to every single case she handles. I cannot stress how impressive her service is! You will never be let down if you ask for Jenna! read more

Cannot advise against this enough. They are 100% a scam. During my first phone call with one of their paralegals, he told me that I do not pay the fine if we don't win. He later retracted this and claims he never said that, even though I never would have hired them if that was the case. I ended up having to pay my fine plus the retainer, twice the amount had I just plead guilty initially. Total crooks and scam artists. DO NOT USE. read more

STAY AWAY FROM X COPPER AND THEIR HD LAWYERS.JUST A MONEY HUNGRY OUTFIT. Got DUI charge. Paid them $4600. 6 months in advance to trial. They remanded to Mar 2014. They want $5000 more now. I dont have the money. They dumped us. Basically they took our money and hung us out to dry. Mississauga office started it. Peter Dotsikas and Jason Baxter ended it. DESPICABLE SERVICE. Maybe they"re going bankrupt like 2008 read more

I was facing a stunt driving charge I was recommended to give x-copper a try so I filled out the form on the website before I knew it JF.Perreault from X-copper called me and he then took over my case got my charge dropped to a lesser charge. I am satisfied with results and very pleased on the work and effort JF put into my case. I will recommend X-copper too anyone that could use the help like I did. read more

Congratulations! On the charge of Careless driving (Ticket # 4260......); The Crown was unable to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and accordingly, the charge was withdrawn. There is no fine, no record of conviction on your driver's abstract and no demerit points arising from this charge. NOTHING TO ADD!!! Thank you X-Copper read more

I've used them 7 times and every time they have either saved me my points or a suspension. They can also lower fines easily. Jenna did an appeal and it was successful. Heather helped me with a drive under suspension ticket and got it thrown out. They are really good at explaining the system and how it works! Definitely recommend! read more

Was one of the best experiences. Very professional. They defended a careless driving charge. Result, no fine, no points, no charge. Case was dismissed. Dealt with Edgar Mendez. Communication was great. Always quick responses to our emails. I would not hesitate to recommend X-Copper to anyone who needs their service. read more

great service. i just sat back and they handled beginning to end. negotiated all the tickets down to nothing or minimum. it would not have been worth it for me to spend my time learning and fighting the tickets, but they did it at a reasonable price and eventually it all got resolved. i just waited. read more

My experience with X-Copper in Ottawa was excellent. Danielle was efficient and great to work with, responsive and confidence-inspiring! She handled my numerous traffic tickets exactly as she said she would and got the desired result. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend X-Copper. Hattie read more

I know I broke the law. But X-Copper still "got me off"! The East York office is great-- Jenna is so friendly. She took the time to speak with me about my problems and helped me get my license back. Don't pay attention to the bad reviews every case is different. read more

Very impressed with this X-Copper office. My case was overturned and my charge was dropped. I worked with Jenna at this office and she could not have been any better at her job. I recommend this office. Still have a clean driving record due to their work. read more

they represent you in court but you can do the same if you're physically present there. you can also negotiate a lower charge with prosecutor. There's nothing different they do that you can't do individually, at least in my case. read more
