I am David Chow, a Calgary criminal defence lawyer who defends impaired driving cases in Calgary and in Red Deer, Alberta. I offer a free consultation and a flat-fee service.

Impaired driving defence in Calgary and Red Deer

Defending an impaired driving case is complicated business. It requires defence counsel to closely scrutinize every case for issues under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I defend impaired driving, over 80, refusal and drug-impaired driving charges, other criminal driving offences, and Alberta roadside sanctions.

My experience

I have been litigating cases in court since before I was called to the bar, and the first client I ever defended was an impaired driving client. I have been defending impaired driving cases in Calgary since 1999. Not every criminal defence lawyer truly understands how to defend a DUI case. I understand that most criminal driving offences involve ordinary citizens — many people honestly believe they were not impaired. If you have been charged in Calgary, Red Deer or along the QEII corridor, call immediately for a free consultation.

Charged with impaired driving in Calgary or Red Deer? Key facts

From Alberta DUI Lawyers: most impaired driving stops in Alberta start with an Immediate Roadside Sanction (IRS) under the Traffic Safety Act, and police can also lay Criminal Code charges. An IRS FAIL — for a reading of 0.08 or more, or for refusing a breath or drug demand — brings a 90-day licence suspension, a 30-day vehicle seizure and a $1,000 fine on a first occurrence, followed by a longer suspension during which you can drive only with an ignition interlock. You have only 7 days to ask SafeRoads Alberta for a review, so speak with a lawyer right away. Read our Alberta impaired driving laws guide for more.
