Being charged with DUI or impaired driving can feel overwhelming.

You might be scared, unsure of what to do next, and worried about your future.

That’s normal — and you’re not alone.

If you’ve been charged in Edmonton, you could be facing:

  • Licence suspension

  • Expensive fines

  • Higher insurance rates

  • Even jail time

These charges can have lasting effects. But with the right defence, you may have options to fight or reduce them.

You may have been charged with drunk driving, an Over 80 offence, or driving while impaired — no matter what it's called, the consequences are serious.

Vince Semenuk, an experienced DUI lawyer in Edmonton, is ready to help protect your future.

What Are the Penalties?

A DUI conviction can bring serious legal and financial costs, such as:

  • Losing your licence

  • Fines starting at $1,000

  • Sky-high insurance rates

  • Possible jail time

  • A permanent criminal record


How Vince Semenuk Can Defend You

Just because you were charged doesn’t mean you’ll be convicted.

Some defences may apply:

  • Challenge test results – Were the breath or roadside tests done right?

  • Protect your rights – Were your Charter rights respected?

  • Check the police work – Mistakes or missing info may help your case

  • Reduce or drop charges – Some cases can be resolved without a criminal record


🔍 Real Example: The Officer’s Story Didn’t Hold Up

A man was charged with DUI after a minor accident in Edmonton. The officer claimed the driver smelled of alcohol and slurred his words.

But in court, the DUI defence lawyer exposed inconsistencies between the officer’s report and the bodycam footage.

The judge found the officer’s evidence unreliable — and the client was found not guilty.

A skilled DUI lawyer in Edmonton knows how to challenge weak evidence and fight your DUI charge — even when the case seems stacked against you.


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

“I thought I had no chance. I blew over and figured I’d lose my licence and end up with a record. But my lawyer really listened, explained everything clearly, and found issues with how the police handled the case. They fought for me — and the charge was dropped. I still can’t believe it.”

A great DUI defence lawyer sees what others miss — and fights for outcomes you might not believe are possible.


Types of Charges in Edmonton

DUI-related charges in Alberta include:

  • Impaired by alcohol or drugs

  • Over 80 – BAC over 80 mg per 100 ml of blood

  • Refusing a breath test

  • Causing injury or death while impaired

You may also hear:

  • DUI

  • Driving under the influence

  • Driving while intoxicated

  • Drunk driving

They all mean the same thing under Canadian criminal law.


Drinking and Driving Laws in Edmonton

It’s not illegal to have a drink and drive.

But it is illegal to:

  • Drive while impaired, or

  • Drive with a BAC over 80 mg

Many people don’t understand the difference — but the law is clear.

Breath tests aren’t perfect, and mistakes can happen.

That’s why getting legal advice matters.


Thinking of Pleading Guilty?

Pleading guilty without knowing your options can lead to:

  • A criminal record

  • Thousands of dollars in fines

  • A long licence suspension

  • Insurance cancellation or extreme rate hikes

You may have better options than you think.

What happens if I refuse a breath test?
Refusing a test can lead to charges. But there may still be a defence — speak to a lawyer.
