About Alan Pearse - Toronto DUI Lawyer

Duilawyerstoronto.ca is the Toronto practice site of Alan Pearse, a member of the Law Society of Ontario whose work is dedicated entirely to impaired driving defence. Pearse has practised since 2000 and has defended thousands of clients across Canada, taking on impaired driving, refusal, and over 80 cases rather than a general criminal docket. The office is downtown at Suite 606, 130 Spadina Avenue.

Pearse wrote A Guide to Breathalyzer Certificates in Canada, published by Canada Law Book, and publishes the Alan Pearse Impaired Driving Newsletter, which offers technical analysis of impaired driving law for other lawyers. Pearse lectures to practicing lawyers and law students on the subject and has been consulted by the Canadian Bar Association on impaired driving issues. The practice extends beyond Ontario too: Pearse also holds membership with the law societies of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories, with separate practice sites serving clients in those provinces and territories.
