Impaired driving defence in Montreal

We defend alcohol-impaired and drug-impaired driving, refusal to provide a breath sample and hit-and-run charges, as well as Highway Safety Code offences. Impaired driving charges in Quebec are prosecuted by the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) in the Court of Québec or, in Montreal and several other cities, in the municipal court. We look at every step of the police investigation, from the reason for the stop to the way samples were demanded and analysed, to find the strongest defence available.

We accept credit card, cheque, cash and Interac e-Transfer, and we offer payment plans so cost does not stand in the way of a proper defence.

Our practice areas

• DUI and Impaired Driving (alcohol or drugs)
• Refusal to Provide a Breath Sample

Where we help

Our office is on Sherbrooke Street East in Montreal, and we represent clients across the Montreal area.

Charged with impaired driving in Montreal? Key facts

From Quebec DUI Lawyers: in Quebec, a breath reading over .08 or a refusal to provide a sample brings an immediate 90-day licence suspension, and in some cases a 30-day vehicle seizure. Drivers 21 and under, learners and probationary licence holders must have no alcohol at all. A Criminal Code conviction leads to a licence revocation of one year for a first offence, three years for a second and five years for a third, and getting your licence back means passing an SAAQ evaluation and usually driving with an alcohol ignition interlock. See Quebec DUI penalties, our guide to Quebec impaired driving laws and what to expect from impaired driving charges. Speak with a lawyer early.

What to do now: keep every document police and the SAAQ gave you, including your suspension notice and your promise to appear, write down what you remember about the stop and the breath test while it is fresh, note any witnesses, and do not discuss the facts of your case with anyone before you have spoken with a lawyer. Bring all of it to your first consultation.
