Impaired driving defence in Laval

I defend impaired driving, over 80, refusal and drug-impaired driving 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. I examine every stage of the investigation: the reason you were stopped, how the breath or drug demand was made, how the testing was done and whether your right to a lawyer was respected. Each file is different, so each strategy is built around your own facts.

I also handle penal matters such as traffic tickets and municipal by-law offences. I accept credit card, cash and Interac e-Transfer.

My practice areas

• DUI and Impaired Driving
• Drug Offences (possession, trafficking, production)
• Assault, Domestic Violence and Threats
• Fraud and Theft
• Traffic Tickets and Penal Offences

Where I help

My office is in the Carrefour business district on Boulevard le Carrefour in Laval, and I represent clients across Laval and Quebec.

Charged with impaired driving in Laval? 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.
