Never Plead Guilty Without a Legal Review

You might feel like you’re guilty — especially if you blew over or admitted to drinking.

But DUI law is complex.
Evidence can be challenged. Procedures can be flawed.
And just because you were charged doesn’t mean you’ll be convicted.

What’s at Risk if You’re Convicted?

A conviction could follow you for life — even for a first offence.

Here’s what’s at stake:

  • A permanent criminal record

  • A minimum 1-year licence suspension — sometimes longer

  • Thousands in fines, court costs, and legal fees

  • Higher insurance rates for years

  • Border problems — especially with the U.S.

  • Career consequences if your job requires driving

  • Jail time, even on a first offence in serious cases

🔍 Real Example: (When the Officer’s Story Doesn’t Hold Up)

A man was charged with impaired driving after a minor accident.
The officer testified that the driver smelled of alcohol, was unsteady, and slurred his words.

But under cross-examination, the defence lawyer exposed several key inconsistencies —
including contradictions between bodycam footage and the officer’s report.

The judge found the officer’s testimony unreliable, and the client was found not guilty.

A skilled DUI lawyer knows how to find the cracks in the prosecution’s case — even when things look stacked against you.


💬 What People Say: (I Thought I Had No Chance — I Was Wrong)

“I thought it was hopeless. I blew over and figured I’d just have to live with the consequences.

But my lawyer dug into the case, found problems with how the police handled things, and fought hard for me.

I was found not guilty. I can’t thank them enough.”

A great defence lawyer sees what others miss — and fights for outcomes you may not think are possible.

FAQs About DUI Charges

Q: Is DUI the same as impaired driving?
A: Yes. In Canada, the legal term is impaired driving — but most people still call it DUI or drunk driving.

Q: I failed the breath test. Is there any point in fighting?
A: Absolutely. Many DUI cases involve legal errors, timing issues, or rights violations that can lead to reduced charges — or no conviction at all.

Q: Can I still drive while waiting for court?
A: Often, your licence is suspended right away. But depending on your province — like Ontario — you may be eligible for reinstatement.

Q: What if I refused the breath or blood test?
A: Refusal is a separate criminal charge — with the same penalties as impaired driving. But police have to follow strict rules when making the demand.

Q: Do I need a lawyer if I’m just going to plead guilty?
A: Yes. Even if a guilty plea is the right move, a lawyer can help minimize penalties and explore alternative resolutions. Never plead guilty without legal advice.
