Understanding the issue
Impaired-driving matters can involve alcohol, drugs, refusal or failure to comply with a demand, and driving-related evidence. Criminal consequences can interact with immediate or administrative driving consequences.
What may require close attention
The evidence can include officer observations, breath or blood testing, timelines, demands, statements, video and records concerning operation or care and control. The exact offence and procedural history must be reviewed before advice is given.
Important: Do not use general website information to decide whether to contact a complainant, attend a location, drive, possess an item, or otherwise act contrary to a release order or court condition.
What to bring to a consultation
Bring every police and court document, driver-licence or suspension paperwork, towing/impound information if applicable, and any disclosure received.
How legal representation may help
Depending on the retainer and stage of the case, work may include reviewing release conditions and disclosure, identifying evidentiary or Charter issues, communicating with the Crown, attending court, discussing resolution options and preparing for motions or trial.
