About Kyla

Kyla Lee is a lawyer at Acumen Law Corporation known as 'The IRP Lawyer,' focusing on drinking-and-driving defence, Immediate Roadside Prohibitions, Administrative Driving Prohibitions, and criminal driving offences.

Lee has completed manufacturer training on Alco-Sensor breathalyzers, blood-analysis training at the University of Arlington, and NHTSA-standard field sobriety test training, and uncovered systemic calibration problems with approved screening devices in Port Moody. Lee holds a law degree and a BA (majoring in First Nations Studies, minoring in English Literature) from the University of British Columbia. Lee sits on the Trial Lawyers Association of BC's executive committee and board of governors, is Vice President of Education and Events for the DUI Defense Lawyers Association, and belongs to the National College for DUI Defence, the BC Civil Liberties Association, and both the Canadian and BC Bar Associations.
