If you are accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI, over the legal limit, refusing a breath test), you should retain a criminal defense attorney right away to act on your behalf. Your attorney should be the first one to communicate with the prosecutor.
All DUI offenses will necessitate the defendant being fingerprinted and photographed by law enforcement before their initial court hearing. Those not fingerprinted at the time of arrest will typically get assigned a later date for fingerprinting about one week before the first court date.
If an individual is convicted of driving while impaired under Section 320.14(1) of the Criminal Code or refusing or failing to provide a breath sample when demanded under Section 320.15(1), they will have a criminal record in Canada. Those who offend repeatedly face obligatory minimum sentences of incarceration.

I wanted to put it in writing how thankful I am for your helping me with my settlement and divorce. It was one of the best decisions I have made, going with you as my lawyer! You were very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and personable. I will, and have, recommended your services to my friends. You took most of the stress and worry off me knowing that I was being SO well taken care of!

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you personally from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and diligent hard work on my case. I’m immensely grateful for your sensitivity to my situation. Without your legal guidance through this procedure, I don’t know exactly where I would be. I’m truly grateful for your thoughtfulness. You were a true angel in my eyes; where I could not see the light, you saw it. This has been a true blessing for me to have you by my side.
