Impaired driving defence in Laval

DUI defence is one of our main practice areas. We defend impaired driving, over 80 and refusal charges, and we act at bail hearings when a client is held after an arrest. 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 review the disclosure in detail, including the grounds for the stop, the breath demand and the testing, to find weaknesses in the Crown’s case and to make sure your Charter rights were respected.

We accept cash and credit cards, and we offer payment plans.

Our practice areas

• DUI and Impaired Driving
• Bail Hearings
• Drug Offences (possession, trafficking, production)
• Domestic Violence and Assault
• Theft and Fraud

Where we help

Our office is on the second floor of the Carrefour Corporate Centre on Boulevard le Carrefour in Laval, and we serve clients in Laval and on the North Shore.

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.
