Impaired driving defence in Red Deer

We defend drunk driving charges, including impaired driving, over 80, refusal to provide a breath sample, drug-impaired driving, and impaired driving causing bodily harm or death. The factors involved in impaired driving charges and sentences keep changing, and we stay current with the latest case law and defences. A defence lawyer can also help you appeal an Immediate Roadside Sanction (IRS). Contact us for a free consultation.

What an impaired driving charge can mean

Substances that can impair your driving include alcohol, drugs and controlled substances, and medications. If you are found to be driving under the influence, you could face criminal charges and heavy fines, a licence suspension, an ignition interlock requirement, higher insurance costs and even jail time. The sentence depends on the nature of the offence and whether anyone was injured, and later offences and charges against novice drivers can bring steeper consequences. We start with a free consultation, review your case and every possible defence, and then fight for the best outcome.

Charged with impaired driving in 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.
