Defence in Windsor.
Windsor and Essex County criminal matters are heard at the Windsor Courthouse on Chatham Street East. Provincial offences are heard at the Windsor/Essex Provincial Offences Court at 400 City Hall Square East.
Windsor is the western end of Highway 401 and the Canadian side of the busiest commercial border crossing in the country. The E.C. Row Expressway crosses the city, Huron Church Road carries the Ambassador Bridge traffic, and both see steady Windsor Police enforcement. OPP Essex County covers the 401 approach. The volume of commercial and cross-border traffic gives Windsor a charge mix that looks different from most Ontario cities.
Provincial offences for Windsor and Essex County are heard at the Windsor/Essex Provincial Offences Court in Suite 401 at 400 City Hall Square East, which sits three courtrooms. Criminal matters proceed at the Windsor Courthouse at 200 Chatham Street East. The courthouse at 245 Windsor Avenue is Superior Court civil work, not criminal — a distinction worth confirming against your notice before you travel.
Point Duty accepts files across Essex County and travels to Windsor for both courts. A careless driving or no insurance charge at the Provincial Offences Court and a summary criminal matter at Chatham Street East are handled the same way: full disclosure first, then a straight assessment of what the evidence actually supports. The first call is free.
