    There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful my family and I are for Antar. He helped my sister through a difficult and overwhelming process, and from the very beginning, he treated us with kindness, honesty, and genuine care. He was always professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure we fully understood every step. We never felt rushed or left in the dark , he was patient, supportive, and always had our best interests at heart. What stood out the most was how much he truly cared. It’s rare to find someone who is not only exceptional at what they do but who also makes you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the entire journey. His guidance gave us peace of mind during a time when we needed it most. Thank you, for Antar, for everything you’ve done for my sister and our family. Your compassion, integrity, and dedication will never be forgotten. We are beyond grateful and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone in need of your services

    I recently had the privilege to work with Mr. Kahlon and he absolutely lives up to his reputation. He handled my case professionally and tirelessly over several months; eventually resulting in a hard fought win at trial! Antar is very patient and goes above and beyond for his clients. If you need representation, look no further! Edit.. The above doesn't change but with my second case he had the same resolve and guided me to a wholeheartedly resolution. I couldn't be happier with this result!

    Overview

    Understanding DUI Offences

    Over 80

    Drinking and Driving — Over 80 mg

    If you've been charged with a DUI (driving under the influence) or other related drinking and driving offences, you may be wondering what procedures must be followed. Kahlon Law has experience defending allegations of impaired driving and driving over 80, commonly referred to by the American term "DUI."

    The allegation usually begins when the police stop a vehicle and suspect the driver has alcohol in their system. Depending on the officer's observations of the driving and the physical appearance of the driver, they may arrest the individual for impaired driving. Alternatively, if the officer does not have sufficient grounds for arrest, the driver will be asked to provide a sample of their breath using a roadside screening device (ASD). This device will return a pass, warn, or fail result.

    Recent amendments to the Criminal Code have eliminated the requirement that an officer form reasonable suspicion prior to administering an ASD. A fail result on the ASD permits the officer to arrest the driver and demand a further breath sample using an approved instrument. The driver will then be taken to the police station for additional tests to determine the concentration of alcohol in their blood.

    Impairment

    Impaired Driving (By Drugs or Alcohol)

    Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious offence in Toronto and can result in severe penalties if not properly addressed. Whether you've been charged with impaired driving due to alcohol or drugs, our DUI lawyer has the expertise to handle a variety of DUI offences.

    You may be convicted of impaired driving based solely on your physical state, driving, and other observations made by witnesses. Law enforcement frequently relies on standard physical signs during DUI arrest investigations. Examples include slurred or confused speech, staggering, swaying, fumbling with papers, shaky feet, a blank stare, bloodshot eyes, and the smell of alcohol. However, many of these signs can also result from factors other than intoxication, such as nervousness, lack of sleep, injury, or medical conditions. At trial, DUI defence counsel will cross-examine both civilian and police witnesses to highlight inconsistencies in the evidence and create reasonable doubt about whether you were actually impaired.

    Refusal

    Refuse Sample

    If a police officer demands that you provide a breath sample and you refuse, you will be charged accordingly. That is where a Toronto DUI lawyer can step in and help you fight impaired driving charges. Even if you were not under the influence, there is nothing worse than having a criminal record. Our criminal lawyer can help you navigate criminal defence law and provide an in-depth understanding of DUI lawyer costs, consequences of subsequent offences, and DUI law.

      The client was arrested after his vehicle became stuck in a ditch during a severe snowstorm. Counsel brought a Charter application challenging the grounds for arrest, the restriction of his right to counsel of choice and the failure to provide dry clothing. Partway through cross-examination of the arresting officer, which exposed contradictions with the video evidence, the Crown withdrew all charges.

    • Not guilty

      2025 · Impaired operation

    Impaired Driving Causing Death

    Impaired driving offences causing death are serious criminal offences. A DUI conviction resulting in death can lead to life imprisonment along with other collateral consequences. Before making any decisions, including pleading guilty, you should speak with a lawyer to understand all of your options.

    Reduced Suspension with Ignition Interlock Conduct Review Program

    The Reduced Suspension with Ignition Interlock Conduct Review Program enables eligible drivers convicted of a first or second alcohol-impaired driving offence under the Criminal Code to reduce their licence suspension in return for complying with certain criteria, such as having an approved ignition interlock device installed in their vehicle. Sometimes, guilty parties are required to attend an alcohol education course to better understand the dangers of drinking and driving. An impaired driving lawyer from our law firm can discuss impaired driving laws and DUI charges with you during a consultation. Eligible drivers will be sent an information package from the Ministry of Transportation.

    Penalties

    A first conviction for impaired driving, over 80, or refusing to provide a breath sample will result in a criminal record and a one-year driving prohibition. There will also be an associated fine and an increase in your insurance premiums. The severity of the punishment increases with the seriousness and frequency of the offence. A second or third offence may result in a jail sentence along with a longer driving prohibition.

    Understanding Your Rights

    When you're facing DUI charges, one of the most critical aspects of your defence is protecting your rights. At Kahlon Law, we are dedicated to upholding and safeguarding your legal rights throughout the entire legal process. As a person accused of a crime, you have a set of rights guaranteed by the Canadian legal system. Some of these fundamental rights include:

    The right to remain silent: You have the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. This means you do not have to answer any questions from law enforcement without the presence of your legal counsel.

    The right to legal representation: You have the right to legal representation. You can choose your lawyer, and it's crucial to have an experienced DUI lawyer by your side to protect your interests.

    The right to a fair trial: You have the right to a fair and impartial trial. This includes the right to a trial within a reasonable time and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

    Protection against unlawful search and seizure: Evidence obtained through unlawful searches or seizures may not be admissible in court. This protection is crucial in DUI cases where the legality of traffic stops and arrests is often challenged.

    Protection against self-incrimination: You cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. You have the right to remain silent during questioning.

    Our Commitment to Protecting Your Rights

    Kahlon Law is committed to ensuring that your rights are upheld at every stage of your DUI case. Here's how we do it:

    Legal expertise: Our DUI lawyer is well-versed in the intricacies of Canadian law and will ensure your rights are respected and protected throughout your case.

    Preventing rights violations: We scrutinize the actions of law enforcement — from the initial traffic stop to the arrest — to ensure no rights violations have occurred.

    Advising and advocating: We provide experienced legal advice, clearly explaining your rights and helping you make informed decisions. We also advocate on your behalf during negotiations with the prosecution and in court.

    Challenging evidence: If evidence has been obtained unlawfully or in violation of your rights, we will challenge its admissibility in court.

    It is advisable to have a criminal lawyer by your side throughout the entire process. Kahlon Law can assist you in developing a strong DUI defence strategy. Our DUI defence lawyer in Toronto is well-versed in the local legal landscape and knows what it takes to protect your rights and your future.
