Oshawa Drunk Driving DUI Defence Lawyers
Most people think of impaired driving as simple to define: operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The truth is that it is much more difficult to precisely define impaired driving charges. There are many different types of charges that fall under the category of impaired driving, and substances other than alcohol may be involved.
Oshawa Lawyers Defending Impaired Driving Charges
Impaired driving, whether by alcohol, drugs or a combination of both, can be complicated to defend. The law is constantly changing in this area, and there are a number of defences that apply to these charges. A conviction of Impaired Driving can have severe consequences such as suspension or revocation of your licence, increased insurance rates, fines and even jail time. It is important to hire a lawyer with expertise in this area of the law who can help you to achieve the best possible outcome. Our lawyers will meet with you to discuss the particulars of your case and will assist you in determining the best defence strategy for your case.
