Impaired driving defence in Lethbridge

We defend impaired driving charges involving alcohol and drugs, over .08 and refusal charges. If you have received an Immediate Roadside Sanction (IRS), it is important that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible. A Lethbridge impaired driving defence lawyer can help you review the disclosure in your case.

Reviewing your IRS

Once an IRS is issued, your licence suspension begins immediately, and you only have 7 days to appeal — the clock starts as soon as the IRS is issued. We can schedule your review for you, in writing or orally. Once the review is set, the government submits the evidence it has gathered. An IRS review is not like a criminal trial: there is no cross-examination, the officer’s notes are treated as if taken under oath, and the onus is on you. There are a number of angles we can use to challenge an IRS, and we can also defend any criminal charge in court.

Charged with impaired driving in Lethbridge? 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.
