Ontario Drinking and Driving Defence Lawyers
Being convicted of driving "over 80" or for impaired driving can severely affect your life and your ability to earn a living. A first-time offender will lose his or her driver's licence for a year, owe a large fine and will have to attend mandatory drinking and driving classes. A conviction will also result in a permanent criminal record that could adversely affect your employability and career prospects. Penalties for subsequent convictions are even harsher.
The Impaired Driving Defence Centre in Toronto is a law firm that diligently defends people accused of "over 80," impaired driving and related criminal charges. We have earned a reputation throughout Ontario for effective advocacy, effective cross-examination and our ability to achieve positive results in challenging cases*.
Successful defence of over 80 and impaired driving charges is possible. From the start of your case to its conclusion, the Impaired Driving Defence Centre will work tirelessly to defend you.
Defence of Drinking and Driving Charges
When we defend you, our firm will undertake a comprehensive examination of the factual and legal issues in your case.
Factors that could result in a good outcome include:
- Lack of reasonable suspicion for the police to stop you
- Improperly conducted breath tests
- Denial of your Charter rights
- The timing of your alcohol intake relative to when you performed breath tests
- Many other factors
Whenever possible, we will seek to exclude breath test results from the evidence at your trial. We frequently work with experts in toxicology and other disciplines to challenge the Crown's witnesses and its interpretation of the facts.
"Over 80" is an offence where an individual, having consumed alcohol, has a blood alcohol concentration in excess of 80 mg per 100 ml of blood. An individual who is charged with "over 80" could, if signs of impairment were observed during the course of driving, also be charged with impaired driving.
