Why Experience Matters in DUI Defense?
The outcome of your case depends on more than just the facts. It depends on how your lawyer handles those facts in court. That’s why it’s important to work with a DUI lawyer in Halifax who understands every angle of impaired driving cases—from roadside breath tests to Charter rights violations.
DUI charges in Nova Scotia are serious. A conviction can lead to:
A criminal record
License suspension
Fines and increased insurance
Mandatory education or rehab programs
Even jail time in some cases
Facing Charges? Here’s How We Can Help You Fight Back
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
This is one of the most common charges we see. If you're accused of having your ability to drive affected by alcohol, the police may rely on roadside tests, witness accounts, or video footage. We review everything—from how the stop was made to the accuracy of testing devices. If your rights were violated or procedures weren’t followed properly, that can be used to build a strong defense.
Drug-Impaired Driving
Being charged with driving under the influence of drugs is becoming more common, especially since cannabis was legalized. These cases often rely on physical signs of impairment or Drug Recognition Experts. But their methods aren’t always reliable. We look at the full picture—including how you were tested and whether the results can be challenged.
Refusal or Failure to Provide a Sample
If you don’t give a breath or blood sample when asked, you can be charged—even if you weren’t impaired. But there are legal rules that police must follow before demanding a sample. If they didn’t explain your rights, or if you were unable to comply for a medical reason, we’ll make sure the court hears your side.
Over 80 mg Charges
This charge means your blood alcohol concentration was measured over the legal limit of 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood. It’s a technical offense, but that doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. We review how the sample was taken, the timeline, the equipment used, and the training of the officer involved. Small errors can lead to big results in court.
Impaired Care and Control
You can be charged even if you're not driving. They can charge you with reduced care and control just for sitting in the driver's seat with the keys close. But the Crown still has to prove you were a real risk behind the wheel. We focus on showing that you had no intention to drive—or that there was no actual danger involved.
Dangerous or Careless Driving Linked to Impairment
In some cases, the police add dangerous or careless driving to a DUI charge. These accusations can make the situation feel worse—but they also open the door for more technical defenses. We carefully analyze road conditions, traffic patterns, and your actual driving behavior to counter what the prosecution claims.
