We are Mahmoud Avocats, a Montreal criminal defence firm founded by Me Mustapha Mahmoud. We serve clients in English and French from our office on Rue Clark in Ahuntsic, and we offer 24/7 emergency service for arrests and bail hearings.

Impaired driving and SAAQ matters

We 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. At the same time, the SAAQ suspends your licence and may require an evaluation and an ignition interlock. We handle both sides: the criminal file and the SAAQ matters that decide when and how you can drive again.

We also defend Highway Safety Code tickets such as speeding offences, which can add demerit points to a licence that is already at risk.

Our practice areas

• DUI and Impaired Driving

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.
