You May Have More Options Than You Think
Many people facing DUI charges feel like there’s no way out.
You might be thinking:
-
“I failed the breath test — I’m guilty.”
-
“Maybe pleading guilty is the fastest way to move on.”
-
“Hiring a lawyer seems expensive.”
But here’s what you need to know:
Even if the evidence looks strong, the Crown must still prove every part of the case — and that’s often where charges fall apart. Police must follow strict procedures. Machines must be properly maintained. Mistakes happen — and they’re not always obvious.
A skilled DUI lawyer knows where to find these issues. What feels hopeless may not be hopeless at all once the evidence is reviewed properly.

DUI. Over 80. Refusal — It All Comes Down to This:
In Manitoba, DUI 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
All of these are serious criminal offences in Canada.
You could lose your licence, your job, and your freedom — even if this is your first DUI 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.

Sky-high insurance rates for years

🔍 Real Case Example: The Officer’s Story Didn’t Hold Up
A man was charged with DUI after a minor accident in Manitoba. 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 notes and his sworn testimony.
The judge found the officer’s evidence unreliable — and the client was found not guilty.
A skilled DUI lawyer in Winnipeg 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.
