We are Doyon Avocats, a Quebec City criminal and penal law firm. Me Félix-Antoine T. Doyon has practised since 2012 and represents clients facing impaired driving and other criminal charges in the Quebec City region.

Impaired driving defence in Quebec City

We defend impaired driving, over 80 and refusal charges. 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. An impaired driving case turns on details: why police stopped you, whether the breath demand was made properly and on time, how the samples were taken, and whether your right to counsel was respected. We review the disclosure for each of these points before advising you on the best way forward.

We also explain the SAAQ side of the file, including the immediate suspension, the evaluation and the ignition interlock, so you know what to expect for your licence whatever happens in court.

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.
