You May Have More Options Than You Think

An impaired driving charge can feel impossible to fight.

You might be thinking:

“The officer said I was impaired — how can I fight that?”
“I don’t want to drag this out if I can’t win.”
“Hiring a lawyer seems expensive if I have no defence.”

But here’s what you need to know:

Impaired driving cases often come down to the officer’s observations. But police officers are human — and human observations are not always reliable. Video footage, field sobriety tests, witness statements, and even simple paperwork errors can all play a role.

The rules and procedures in impaired driving cases are detailed for a reason. When the police don’t follow those rules exactly, it can create defences that most people never realize exist.

An experienced impaired driving lawyer knows exactly where to look for mistakes, weaknesses, or violations that could change the outcome of your case.

👉 Before you give up or assume there’s no hope, let us review your case. The consultation is free — and you’ll get honest advice, with no pressure and no obligation.

Impaired Driving. DUI. Over 80. Refusal — It All Comes Down to This:

In Alberta, impaired driving charges cover a range of offences:

Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs
Driving Over 80 (BAC above 0.08)
Refusing a breath or blood test
Impaired driving causing bodily harm or death

— the law treats these as serious criminal offences.

You could lose your licence, your job, and your freedom — even if this is your first impaired driving charge. The consequences can follow you for years.

But there's hope - with the right legal advice.

✅ Many cases can be challenged successfully — even if you failed a test.

👉 You don’t have to face these consequences alone — call (587) 870-6579 before it’s too late

What You’re Really Facing If Convicted:

A permanent criminal record
Immediate licence suspension — even before your trial
Thousands in fines, legal fees, and court costs
Sky-high insurance rates for years
Border problems — especially entering the U.S.
Job loss if driving is part of your work
Jail time for repeat or serious cases

🚗 Ignition Interlock & Driving Restrictions After an Impaired Driving Conviction

An impaired driving conviction doesn’t just mean fines or a criminal record — it affects your ability to drive long after your licence suspension ends.

In Alberta, most people convicted of impaired driving must enter an ignition interlock program. This device tests your breath before allowing the vehicle to start. If alcohol is detected, the car won’t start.

The interlock program can last:

3 months, 6 months, or longer depending on your case
Even longer for repeat impaired driving offences

You may also face:

Restricted driving privileges for work, school, or medical needs
Mandatory impaired driving education or treatment programs
Ongoing monitoring and compliance checks
Higher insurance premiums for years after reinstatement

Many people don’t realize how far these restrictions reach until it’s too late.

👉 Before you plead guilty to impaired driving, speak with an impaired driving lawyer in Edmonton who understands how to protect your licence, your job, and your long-term future.

🔍 Real Case Example: (Charge Dropped After Breath Test Challenge)

A person charged with Over 80 after blowing over the limit assumed it was hopeless. But Vince Semenuk carefully reviewed police disclosure and found the breathalyzer hadn't been properly calibrated. The issue was raised before trial — and the charge was dropped.

👉 Breath tests aren’t always reliable. A skilled defence lawyer knows where to look.

“Our DUI lawyer helped me out with an impaired driving issue. Took everything out of my hands after a quick call to confirm what had happened.
