Being convicted of a criminal infraction can have serious consequences, including imprisonment, driving restrictions, licence suspension and huge fines. Although criminal driving offenses do not carry demerit points, having a conviction on your driving record can hinder your ability to obtain a license to operate a motor vehicle and future insurance rates. This can be particularly problematic for individuals who rely on driving as part of their employment or daily routine. Moreover, a criminal conviction can have far-reaching effects beyond the immediate legal consequences. It can impact an individual’s reputation, job prospects, and personal relationships, making it imperative to seek legal counsel when facing criminal charges.

 

A “promise to appear” is a legal agreement made between an accused person and the court. Instead of being served with a summons or warrant, the accused promises to attend court on a specified date and time. This is commonly used in criminal cases, where the accused is not considered a flight risk and has no prior record of failing to appear in court. The promise to appear is legally binding, and failure to attend court can result in serious consequences, including arrest and additional charges.

DUI LAWYERS

If you are facing a DUI Charge in Ontario, Canada, then you need the services of one of our DUI Lawyers. DUI Lawyers are not paralegals they are real Lawyers who handle serious driving offences. The term DUI Lawyer is actually American terminology but it is quickly finding its place in the Canadian lexicon as a short form for those Lawyers who focus their defence practice on the defence of Impaired Driving charges including Impaired Driving, Over 80, Care or Control, and Refuse Breath Sample. Most Lawyers tend to round out their defence practice with general criminal defence work. However, our DUI Lawyers handle nothing but driving offences, drinking and driving charges and related violations. We believe that a focused practice should be an important consideration when choosing legal representation for anyone facing a DUI charge and in need of a DUI Lawyer.

The Traffic Lawyers is one of the few Law Firms in the Province of Ontario with a practice focused exclusively on driving offences. We have exceptional DUI Lawyers and although the bulk of our practice is in the GTA, we can serve your needs and interests with a skilled DUI Lawyer in almost any corner of Ontario.

Call us today

Speak to one of our DUI Lawyers about your case and let us help you in court. These are not offences that you should try to handle without the professional representation of a DUI Lawyer.

Impaired Driving charges are different from Over 80 charges in that the Crown in the first case is obligated to prove that one’s ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired and in the latter that the alcohol concentration was in excess of 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood. DUI Lawyers are trained in the complexities of these laws. This does not mean that every time a DUI Lawyer is hired a case will automatically be defeated. However, if there is a way to defend the charge then our DUI Lawyers will find it; if there is a way to negotiate the charge to a lesser offence then our DUI Lawyers will do so; and if defences are not available, our DUI Lawyers will so advise. The consequences of a conviction are unfortunately always dramatic and therefore a DUI Lawyer is always required to analyze each individual case and render a legal opinion.

If you have been charged with a drinking and driving offence in the Province of Ontario, call one of our DUI Lawyers without delay. You will find all of our DUI Lawyers to be understanding, professional and affordable. We are not here to judge you; we are here to help you.
