Impaired Driving
Impaired driving legislation is complex and is one of the very few areas of criminal law where individuals are forced to incriminate themselves. When facing an impaired driving or refusal charge, you need to be confident that your lawyer is fully aware of the nuances and legal standards that fill this area of law as well as all of the available defenses.
The three most common impaired driving charges that you may face are:
Each of these charges carry a mandatory minimum penalty including a fine, criminal record, and driving prohibition. If an injury occurred, even a first time offender could be facing jail.
The consequences of these offences begin even before you go to Court. You will be subject to an immediate suspension of your driver’s license and your vehicle will be impounded before you are released from police custody.
If you are facing any of these charges, you need to start your defence as soon as possible to minimize any negative impacts. Contact our office today to see what your options are for appealing your license suspension and defending your charges.
