Impaired driving defence in Quebec City

I defend impaired driving, over 80 and refusal charges, and I advise clients on the administrative suspension and licence revocation that follow. 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. In the Quebec City area, that usually means the Court of Québec at the Quebec City courthouse.

I review the police investigation carefully, including the grounds for the stop, the breath demand and your right to speak with a lawyer, and I keep you informed at each step so there are no surprises.

My practice areas

• Impaired Driving (DUI)
• Administrative Suspensions and Licence Revocation
• Domestic Violence
• Assault, Harassment and Crimes Against the Person
• Theft, Fraud and Economic Crimes
• Drug Offences

Where I help

My office is at 250 Grande Allée Ouest in Quebec City, and I represent clients across the Capitale-Nationale region.

Charged with impaired driving in Quebec City? 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.
