    Most Impaired Files Have An Charter Problems. We Find Them.

    #01

    Licence & Record Defended

    An impaired driving conviction brings a criminal record and a licence suspension. We fight to protect both through careful analysis, negotiation, and trial.

    #02

    Charter Arguments

    Roadside stops, breath demands, and rights to counsel are often flawed. We identify Charter breaches under ss. 8, 9, and 10(b) that can weaken the Crown's case.

    #03

    Immigration-Aware Defence

    A DUI puts permanent residency, citizenship, and work permits at risk. We understand the stakes and build defences with those consequences firmly in mind.

    Your Questions, Our Clarity

    Can my impaired driving charge be reduced to careless driving?

    Careless driving resolutions are possible in some impaired driving files, typically where non-aggravating features are present: no collision, readings under 120 mg/100 mL, no prior driving suspensions, and no roadside warn-range
    history.

    Identifying Charter issues in the disclosure is often central to these negotiations. Breaches involving unlawful detention or right-to-counsel violations can shift the Crown's position and open the door to a careless driving resolution.

    A careless driving plea avoids a criminal record and Criminal Code licence suspension, though demerit points and insurance consequences still apply. Whether this outcome is realistic depends on your disclosure and how the matter is negotiated with the Crown.

    Ontario imposes an immediate 90-day Administrative Driver's Licence Suspension upon charge, which runs regardless of what happens in criminal court. A separate Criminal Code driving prohibition applies on conviction.

    If the charge is withdrawn or reduced to careless driving, the Criminal Code suspension is avoided. Drivers convicted of a Criminal Code impaired driving offence may also be eligible to return to driving earlier under Ontario's Reduced Suspension with Ignition Interlock Conduct Review Program, which has two tracks — Stream A (for first-time offenders meeting specific eligibility criteria) and Stream B (for those who don't qualify for Stream A).

    To benefit from the program, the matter must generally be resolved and a guilty plea entered within 90 days of the charge. Missing this window can disqualify a driver from Stream A eligibility, which is one reason early case assessment with an experienced impaired driving lawyer matters.

    The timeline for a criminal case headed toward resolution is typically shorter than a matter proceeding to trial. In many cases, if the issue is resolvable, a resolution may be reached in approximately six months.

    One of the most common causes of delay in criminal cases is waiting for disclosure from the Crown. At the Brampton Courthouse, it generally takes approximately three months from the date of arrest to receive disclosure. Once disclosure is obtained, the case usually moves forward at a much faster pace.

    We understand how stressful and urgent these delays can feel. Our criminal lawyer is proactive in pushing for timely disclosure and works diligently to move your file forward as efficiently as the justice system allows.

    While you have a legal right to receive disclosure from the Crown, issues often arise with sensitive evidence, particularly in domestic-related cases. The Crown will not release certain materials, such as a complainant’s video statement, directly to a self-represented accused. Instead, you must schedule an appointment to view this evidence in person at the Crown Attorney’s office. Disclosure-related communication for Brampton is typically handled through virtualcrownbrampton@ontario.ca.

    If you are self-represented, you may also attend in person to request disclosure or arrange viewing of sensitive materials at the Crown Attorney’s office located on the fifth floor, 7755 Hurontario Street, Brampton.

    When you retain our firm, all disclosure—including sensitive materials—is provided directly to us under a professional undertaking. This allows your defence to be built with immediate and complete access to the evidence, without unnecessary delays.

    Our role goes far beyond simply receiving disclosure. We perform a detailed legal analysis of the entire disclosure package to:

    - Identify weaknesses in the Crown’s case
    - Detect potential Charter violations
    - Develop a strong and strategic defence tailored to your situation

    This comprehensive approach ensures your rights are protected and your case moves forward efficiently.

    Drivers are required to comply with lawful breath and screening device demands, and to identify themselves. Beyond that, you have the right to remain silent.

    At the station, you have the right to speak with a lawyer in private before providing evidentiary breath samples. Exercising this right by calling a lawyer and obtaining advice before the breath test is critical. It ensures you understand your rights and can make informed decisions, and it helps preserve Charter arguments if the right to counsel is not properly facilitated by police.
