About Defend Your DUI

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Defend Your DUI is a network of Canadian criminal defence lawyers that limits its practice to a single area: impaired driving. That covers impaired operation, over .80 charges, refusal to provide a breath, blood or urine sample, and the immediate roadside sanctions and prohibitions that many provinces now hand out alongside or instead of a criminal charge. Five lawyers work under the Defend Your DUI name, including Michael Oykhman, Justin Marchand, Dylan Finlay, Lorant Kiss and Ian Savage, from offices in Toronto and Calgary. The site's copyright notice dates back to 2016, and the firm states its lawyers have collectively logged more than 75 years of experience and over 10,000 impaired driving cases and clients.

Rather than practising general criminal law, the firm sticks to DUI defence and takes on cases well beyond its two office cities. Its website carries dedicated pages for clients in Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and British Columbia, since roadside suspension and prohibition rules differ from province to province. A new file starts with a free consultation in which a lawyer reviews the police paperwork and the circumstances of the stop, walks through the court process, and discusses the firm's fee structure and how it can help. The firm says its phone line is answered every day of the year.
