DUI Lawyers Serving  Burlington

Operating a vehicle while under the effects of alcohol or drugs is against the law and falls under the criminal code regarding drinking and driving violations. The laws concerning impaired driving have changed a lot over the past few years. It is now easier for the prosecution to get convictions for these crimes due to amendments to the Criminal Code. If found guilty, the punishments have also become more severe. Because charges for impaired driving are complex, it is advisable to retain legal counsel who have substantial knowledge in this field of law.

When hired, the criminal lawyers at Genesee Law will ask the prosecution for all relevant information. This includes the arresting officer's notes, video recordings, breath test results, documents, and witness statements. We thoroughly review the investigation for any flaws once we obtain these materials. Then we build a strong defense for trial, exposing the case's weaknesses. Occasionally, we've convinced prosecutors to agree to favorable outcomes like withdrawing drunk driving charges because of major legal problems we spot. Over the course of 45 years, we have secured successful outcomes for Burlington residents charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
