The good news (for someone who is charged with a DUI) is that, because the law is so technical, even if you blow over the legal limit, you may still be able to avoid a criminal conviction, avoid jail, and keep your driver's license.

Should I Plead Guilty
Report
The most common thing for a person being charged with a DUI to ask is "Should I Plead Guilty?" Even though this web page can give you a great deal of information about DUI law, the real question is "Do I have a defence?" The only way to really know the answer to that question is to call Alan Pearse today for a free consultation.
Dui Lawyers Saskatoon
Report
These two concepts are related. DUI & DWI litigation is very complex, and the defence are often counter-intuitive. For example, it is very common to hire a lawyer who practices 100% DUI law, rather than someone who runs a general criminal practice. While the DUI lawyer is likely more expensive, the reality is that DUI law is so complex that it is very difficult for anyone but a specialist to have a complete, instant grasp on all the issues.
Impaired Driving Law
Report
The legally correct term is "Impaired Driving." The term "DUI" or "DWI" is considered an "American" term by Canadian lawyers, and it is not often used in court. This site uses the term "DUI" because it is designed to be accessible to the general public. This means that the accused did not provide either a roadside sample or a breathalyzer sample.
Driving Over 08 Laws
Report
If you are charged with an "over 08," you want to show that the certificate of analysis is inadmissible. Driving "over 08" is a criminal offence as per section 253(1)(b) of the criminal code. This is a separate offence from impaired driving. Essentially, the police must prove that the accused's blood alcohol level was over the legal limit.
