Over 80 Impaired Driving Solutions

Frequently asked questions

I was charged with Over 80 in Ontario, can this firm help?

Yes. Over 80 (operating a vehicle with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood) is the firm's core focus, and it offers a free, no obligation, confidential interview to review the charge before you retain a lawyer.

What if I refused to give a breath sample, is that automatically a conviction?

Not necessarily. The firm's site explains that only a refusal to comply with a lawful police demand is a criminal offence, so the Crown has to establish the officer had reasonable and probable grounds, and a common defence is showing the driver was physically unable to provide a sample rather than unwilling.

Does the firm only handle impaired driving, or other criminal charges too?

The firm's main focus is impaired driving, Over 80, and refusal charges, but its site also lists other criminal matters it takes on, including domestic assault, theft, fraud, and firearms offences.

Where is the firm located and does it travel outside Etobicoke and Brampton?

The firm has offices in Etobicoke and Brampton, with an additional Orangeville location. Its lawyer appears at courthouses well beyond those cities, including courts in Toronto and the Niagara Region, for clients facing impaired driving charges province wide.

How do I start, and does it cost anything to talk to a lawyer first?

The firm offers a free, no obligation, confidential interview to assess your case before you retain it. You can reach the office by phone or through the contact form on its site.

Can a high blood alcohol reading still be defended?

Yes, in some cases. The Crown still has to prove the reading and the process behind it, including proper grounds for the breath demand and correct testing procedure, so a high reading on its own does not decide the case.
