At the law offices of Nicholas St-Pierre avocat / lawyer, our impaired driving lawyers have the experience and legal skill you need to defend and protect you from the full brunt of potential sentencing. We have fought many cases in Ottawa and Gatineau and will thoroughly investigate the charges against you and analyse the evidence to determine if your rights were violated in any way and if the charges should be minimized or thrown out.
If you or a loved one has been charged with drunk driving, call us for a thorough consultation and an assessment of your options. Call 613-233-3793, or reach us by email.
Our criminal lawyers will conduct our own investigation of the stop. Many times, police officers cut corners and make mistakes during the stop, violating the rights of the individual in the process. This could include mistakes when stopping the vehicle, while administering the breath test or when questioning the driver. Other mistakes we see often are illegal searches of the person or vehicle, timing issues from the time of the arrest to the time of providing the breath samples and police conduct when dealing with the driver.
Fighting Charges Of Driving While High Or On Drugs
Impaired driving charges go beyond drunk driving. You can also be charged with impaired driving if law enforcement suspect that you are under the influence of marijuana or other drugs. Police powers to investigate and determine a driver was driving under the influence of a drug have just came into force the last few years and it can be difficult for prosecutors to prove. We will take an aggressive stance on your behalf to ensure that you are not charged for anything the prosecution cannot prove.
