HIRING A DUI LAWYER IN EDMONTON AND GRANDE PRAIRIE FOR ALLEGATIONS RELATED TO IMPAIRED DRIVING MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
DUI allegations and charges are serious and require a law firm that have experience in order to provide you the best possible case in court. Our practice focuses exclusively in the area of criminal law, one that has a long history of representing clients with DUI allegations and offences in Edmonton, Grande Prairie, and the surrounding areas.
Our lawyers are trained on breath-testing instruments, and represented clients of DUI cases at all levels of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada. If accused of DUI, you are facing an immediate suspension of your driver’s licence. A good defense lawyer makes it their first priority to help you get your licence back as soon as possible. This is why it is extremely important for anyone charged with an impaired driving offence to consult with a DUI lawyer immediately. Like any criminal charge, it is an allegation until you are proven innocent.
HIRE AN EXPERIENCED EDMONTON AND GRANDE PRAIRIE DEFENSE LAWYER WHO SPECIALIZES IN DUI CASES
DUI offences can happen to anyone from all walks of life. It doesn’t only happen to those with an alcohol or substance abuse problem. Sometimes it’s as simple as having one too many and getting behind the wheel due to lack of judgement or not planning alternative transportation ahead of time.
If you find yourself accused of impaired driving, hiring an experienced defense lawyer in Edmonton or Grande Prairie who specializes in impaired driving is the only way to receive the proper advice on how to successfully fight your DUI charges.
CONSEQUENCES OF DRIVING WITH ALCOHOL IN YOUR SYSTEM THAT FALLS SHORT OF IMPAIRED DRIVING:
In Alberta there can be consequences for driving with alcohol in your system even if your blood alcohol does not exceed .08. If your blood alcohol is between .05 and .08 the consequences depend on how often this has occurred.
A WEALTH OF SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE IN THE SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE OF PERSONS CHARGED WITH IMPAIRED DRIVING OR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI)
Impaired driving law has become one of the more fascinating and complicated areas of criminal law. At Liberty Law, a number of our Edmonton DUI lawyers have gained a wealth of specialized experience in the successful defense of persons charged with impaired driving (DUI). We can also assist with the ever changing provincial punishments and regulations that seriously impact a person’s ability to drive the moment they are charged.
OUR LAWYERS PRIDE THEMSELVES ON KNOWING THE PROCESS BETTER THAN EVEN THE MOST SENIOR PROSECUTORS OR POLICE OFFICERS
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms plays a huge role in these prosecutions. In 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada delivered a key ruling in R. v. Hufsky. This case set out the State’s ability to stop motorists and commence a criminal investigation.
Since then there have been thousands of cases on hundreds of complex legal issues that have a significant impact on defending people charged with impaired driving, driving over .08 and refusing to provide a breath sample.
In addition to Charter issues, there are many highly technical defenses that arise in this area such as “bolus” drinking and whether the police properly followed the steps in the Criminal Code. Our lawyers pride themselves on knowing the process better than even the most senior prosecutors or police officers.
LIBERTY LAW HAS RUN THOUSANDS OF IMPAIRED DRIVING (DUI) TRIALS
There are very few downsides to running an impaired driving trial. The court room experience we have built over the years by running thousands of trials pays dividends for each and every one of our clients.
Lawyers with less experienced may shy away from challenging supposedly open and shut impaired cases. Our lawyers rely on a huge wealth of experience to find ingenious ways to successfully defend their clients.
In any criminal trial, there can be no guarantee of success and one should be wary of any lawyer who does. However, we are confident that our Edmonton DUI lawyers are among the very best in this field and among a select few in Alberta who truly know this area of the law. With that expertise we can truly offer a client every defense possible in this exceedingly complex area of the law.
