Charged With DUI in Winnipeg?

If police stopped you, tested you, and released you with paperwork, your case has already started even if court is weeks away.

Most people leave unsure what the paperwork means or what they are supposed to do next.

Some try to explain what happened.
Some contact others involved.
Some wait for court.

Those are often the moments that quietly damage a defence.

Before taking any step, it helps to understand where you actually stand.

Why the First Few Days Matter

An impaired driving case does not begin in court. It begins now.

Early decisions, sometimes before you realize they are decisions, can affect licence consequences, how evidence is preserved, and what arguments remain available later.

Many cases are not won later. They are protected early.

A short conversation can help you avoid steps that cannot be undone.

Why Details Matter Early

In one case, a Winnipeg driver was charged with impaired driving and received a licence suspension notice.
When Mark reviewed the disclosure, he found procedural errors in the stop.

The suspension was lifted. The charge did not proceed to trial.

Not every case ends that way.
Impaired driving cases often turn on technical details that are easy to miss and harder to fix later.
