Answers to Your Questions

Explore answers to common questions regarding legal processes, rights, and procedures. Get clarity on your concerns with our comprehensive FAQ.

What types of Impaired Driving charges do you handle?

We have successfully handled a wide range of Drinking & Driving cases, including those involving alcohol and drug-related impaired driving, care & control, and refusal to provide a breath sample. 

Can my matter resolve to a careless?

If your BAC was under 120mg, there are Charter breaches, there was no no accident involved, and you have no priors, we’ll aim to negotiate your charge to careless driving.

A careful case review is essential—reach out for an assessment. We leverage our record of securing favorable outcomes through detailed preparation, assertive advocacy, and an in-depth knowledge of legal intricacies.

Does an Impaired Driving conviction result in a jail sentence?

For a first-time impaired driving offence without aggravating factors such as an accident, it’s more common for the court to impose fines & driving prohibition rather than a jail sentence.

For a second offence there is a mandatory minimum jail time of 30 days, and for a third or subsequent offence, the mandatory minimum jail time increases to 120 days.

Other serious charges related to impaired driving, such as impaired driving causing bodily harm or death, carry much stiffer penalties, including lengthy prison sentences. The specific sentence will always depend on the unique circumstances of each case, the presence of any aggravating or mitigating factors. 

How long does it take for to resolve an DUI charge?

The timeline for an Impaired Driving case headed towards resolution will be shorter than a matter proceeding towards trial. Generally, if the matter is resolvable, a resolution may be reached in  approximately four-six months. It is important to keep in mind the 90-day timeline for Stream A eligibility as it enables a first-time offender to access a reduced license suspension benefit.

Delays in Drinking & Driving charges often stem from awaiting disclosure from the Crown. Once obtained, the case typically progresses at a faster pace.

We understand the urgency and the impact of delay. Our criminal lawyer is committed to pushing for timely disclosure and to moving your file forward as quickly as the justice system allows. 

What is the court process for defending assault charges?

After being released the court process starts even before the first court appearance. The criminal lawyer will request disclosure where prosecution provides all relevant pieces of evidence and information regarding the case to defence.

After that, there is a Crown Pre-Trial (CPT) whereby the defence lawyer meets with prosecutors to discuss details of the case, possible solutions or trial issues. This is then followed by Judicial Pre-Trial (JPT), which entails a judge discussing similar issues as well as giving his/her input on the case.

Lastly is the trial or resolution. Here, depending on circumstances and discussions had during pre-trial phases, it could either end up going for trial where evidence will be presented, and judgment passed or the matter will be resolved through other mechanisms such as withdrawal of charges or other form of resolution.
