Services
DUI Law
GUNN LAW GROUP specializes in defending DUI charges with technical expertise in breath testing and legal nuances. Our lawyers have shaped Alberta's DUI laws through landmark cases, providing strategic defense for clients facing license suspensions and criminal penalties. We offer 24/7 emergency representation and rapid appeal initiation for Immediate Roadside Sanctions.
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice covers offenses from drug charges to violent crimes. With decades of courtroom experience, we provide vigorous advocacy and case-specific strategies. Services include pre-trial preparation, witness management, and representation in appeals across Alberta and nationwide for serious criminal charges.
Family Law
We handle family law matters with sensitivity, focusing on child custody, spousal support, and property division. Our collaborative divorce approach offers cost-effective solutions while maintaining readiness for litigation when necessary. Services are restricted to Alberta with a focus on protecting family interests through personalized legal strategies.
IRS Appeals
GUNN LAW GROUP challenges Immediate Roadside Sanctions under Alberta's SafeRoads program. We initiate appeals within 24 hours of engagement, contesting unjust penalties and license suspensions. Our expertise includes navigating administrative processes and coordinating defense strategies with concurrent criminal charges.
Collaborative Divorce
This alternative to traditional litigation resolves family disputes cooperatively. Our trained professionals guide couples through asset division and custody arrangements while maintaining courtroom readiness if agreements fail. The process emphasizes transparency and mutual benefit for long-term family stability.
Questions
What immediate steps should I take after receiving a DUI charge?
Contact GUNN LAW GROUP immediately. We'll initiate your defense, explain your rights, and begin preparing technical challenges to breath testing evidence within our 24-hour response window.
How does collaborative divorce differ from traditional litigation?
Collaborative divorce uses trained professionals to resolve disputes amicably without court intervention, while traditional litigation involves judicial decisions. We offer both approaches depending on client needs.
Can I contest an Immediate Roadside Sanction (IRS) penalty?
Yes. We guarantee starting your IRS appeal within 24 hours. Do not pay fines before consulting us, as payment constitutes admission of guilt and forfeits appeal rights.
Do you handle cases outside Alberta?
We represent clients nationwide for criminal charges and DUI defense, but limit family law services to Alberta residents.
What happens during my first court appearance?
Adults charged with summary offenses may have legal representation attend initial hearings. Youth and those facing indictable charges typically require personal attendance unless special arrangements are made.
