Martin G. Schulz & Associates is a criminal defence firm in Edmonton that also serves Calgary. You do not have to accept the impaired driving charges against you — our goal is to give you a chance at a fair and just trial and outcome.

Impaired driving defence in Edmonton

Our lawyers will examine your case and determine whether the initial traffic stop was conducted legally, and we may question the accuracy of breathalyzer or blood test results. There are various strategies that can be used in an impaired driving, over 80 or refusal defence, and we choose the one that fits your case.

What you are facing

In Alberta, impaired driving can be a criminal offence, and a conviction can bring fines, jail time and licence suspensions. A field sobriety test is not always an accurate indicator of impairment, and we review whether the stop, the testing and the evidence meet the legal standard. The criminal justice system waits for no one — time is of the essence once you have been charged with a driving offence. With enough time to review the charges, we can advise you on the best path forward.

Charged with impaired driving in Edmonton? 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.
