Sharpe Courthouse, 150 Bond Street East, Oshawa, Ontario L1G 0A2, serving all of Durham Region including Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby. Family matters are heard by the Superior Court of Justice (Family Court) — Durham is a Unified Family Court region, so one court handles the full range of family law issues. Criminal matters are heard at the same courthouse by the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, depending on the charge. Civil and small claims matters are also heard there, by the Superior Court of Justice. Provincial Offences (traffic) matters are heard separately, at the Durham Region Provincial Offences Court, 605 Rossland Road East, Whitby. Legal Solutions Law Firm appears at both regularly.

Ajax is one of Ontario's fastest-growing communities, situated along the north shore of Lake Ontario in Durham Region. As the town grows — with new residential developments, a growing business corridor along Kingston Road and Bayly Street, and an increasingly diverse population — the demand for accessible, experienced legal services in Ajax has never been higher.
Many Ajax residents assume they need to find a law firm physically located in Ajax or Whitby to get good local representation. That is not the case. Under Ontario's Law Society Act, any lawyer licensed by the Law Society of Ontario can represent clients anywhere in the province. What matters is courthouse experience — and Legal Solutions Law Firm regularly appears at the Durham Region courthouses in Oshawa and Whitby, which handle court proceedings for Ajax.
Family breakdown is one of the most difficult experiences a person can go through. Ajax families dealing with separation, divorce, custody disputes, or child support need a lawyer who understands both the emotional weight of these matters and the technical requirements of Ontario family law. We act as your divorce lawyer in Ajax for both uncontested and contested matters, and handle custody, support, and property division alongside it. Family matters for Ajax residents are heard by the Superior Court of Justice (Family Court) at the Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel S. Sharpe Courthouse in Oshawa. See our Ajax family lawyer page for the full range of services we offer.
If you or someone you know has been charged with a criminal offence in Ajax or Durham Region, you need experienced defence counsel immediately. Criminal charges — even minor ones — can have lasting consequences for employment, immigration status, housing, and personal reputation. As your Ajax criminal defence lawyer, we appear at the Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel S. Sharpe Courthouse in Oshawa for bail hearings, preliminary inquiries, plea negotiations, and trials. Early intervention is often the most effective way to protect your rights.
Ajax is serviced by Highway 401, Highway 412, Kingston Road (Highway 2), and Bayly Street — all heavily patrolled corridors. Speeding tickets, careless driving charges, and other Highway Traffic Act offences issued in Ajax are prosecuted at the Durham Region Provincial Offences Court in Whitby. Rather than simply paying a fine and accepting demerit points, contact us to discuss your Ajax traffic ticket options — we review the disclosure, look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and negotiate with the prosecutor where it makes sense.
Small claims court in Ontario handles civil disputes up to $50,000 — making it the most common forum for everyday legal conflicts such as unpaid contractor invoices, security deposit disputes, damaged property, and consumer complaints. The small claims court for Ajax residents is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice at the Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel S. Sharpe Courthouse in Oshawa — not the Provincial Offences Court in Whitby, which handles traffic matters only. We provide cost-effective, focused representation designed to maximize your recovery or minimize your liability without disproportionate legal fees.

Client Testimonials
I had a very positive experience with Legal Solutions Law Firm. Ryan represented me in a family court matter and provided excellent guidance and support throughout the entire process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly. Family court matters can be stressful, but Ryan helped make the process much easier and gave me confidence every step of the way. I truly appreciated his dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Legal Solutions Law Firm and Ryan to anyone looking for a compassionate and experienced family lawyer.
Ryan did an outstanding job on my case. He was clear, professional, and always kept me informed. Thanks to his hard work, my charges were dropped. I’m very grateful and highly recommend him.
I had such a stressful time trying to find legal help. I felt lost and hopeless when I got a notice to appear at the LTB. When I found Ryan, he stepped up and defended me. He’s knowledgeable about both the LTB and criminal law, and most importantly he’s tough! Exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad I found him.
I wish I could add five more stars to show how happy we are with the legal services of Ryan J. Manilla and his team. They took charge of our legal matters, worked tirelessly on short notice, and delivered outstanding legal documents on time. Their teamwork, professionalism, patience, and understanding of our situation gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, we sleep better at night knowing that we are in good hands, with a legal team that has the expertise and compassion to handle sensitive matters with care.
