De Boyrie Law

Impaired charges don’t define who you are. We approach every case with one goal: keeping your record clean and your future intact.

Impaired Driving Lawyer

Successfully defending an impaired driving charge at trial requires sharp attention to police procedure, timing, and the technical limits of evidence. These cases often rest on breathalyzer results, roadside screenings, officer observations, and timelines that must align with strict legal standards. We examine the arrest from the moment of vehicle stop through detention and demand, looking for breaches of your Charter rights or weaknesses in the Crown’s case. No two impaired trials are the same, and our courtroom strategy adapts accordingly—targeting the details that create doubt and pursuing exclusion of evidence where possible.

Popular questions

A conviction typically includes a mandatory driving prohibition. But we can often delay or avoid this through defence or resolution strategies.
Even a small margin above 80 mg can result in charges, but slight readings may strengthen Charter challenges or raise questions of reliability at trial.
Yes, if charged under the Criminal Code. However, in some cases, provincial sanctions or resolutions can avoid a criminal record depending on the circumstances.
