🔍 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.
