Frequently Asked Questions About DUI Arrest Defence

What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?

After a DUI arrest, the most important steps are to note the details of your stop, avoid discussing your case with anyone but a lawyer, and speak with a DUI arrest defence lawyer as soon as possible. Early legal guidance can protect your driving privileges and help preserve critical evidence.

What counts as a DUI offence in Toronto?

In Ontario, a DUI can mean driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, or having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.08. There are also related offences such as “care or control” of a vehicle and refusing to provide a breath or blood sample.

Can I fight the DUI charge even if my BAC was over the legal limit?

Yes. A BAC reading over 0.08 is strong evidence, but not indisputable. We can examine whether the breath test was properly administered, whether the machine was calibrated, and whether your rights were respected during the arrest. In some cases, we may negotiate a reduced charge or obtain a favourable outcome at trial.

Could I face jail time for a DUI in Toronto?

Yes — prison is a possibility, especially for repeat offences or if there are aggravating factors like high BAC and bodily harm. That said, first-time offenders often receive penalties such as fines, driving prohibition, and interlock.

How soon should I contact a DUI defence lawyer after an arrest?

As soon as possible. A prompt defence means we can begin reviewing all the evidence while the details are fresh. Early involvement increases the chances of finding procedural issues or negotiating better outcomes.
