DUI

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense that can have significant legal and personal consequences. If you are currently facing DUI charges, hiring a skilled criminal defence lawyer is an important step that can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and mitigate the potential impacts of a conviction.

DUI charges arise when a driver is found operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration level above the legal limit. The consequences of a DUI conviction can include hefty fines, licence suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. Beyond these legal penalties, a DUI conviction can affect your employment opportunities, insurance rates, and your personal reputation.

When you bring your DUI case to us at Cowan Law chambers, we will thoroughly review the evidence against you, including any field sobriety tests or breathalyzer tests taken. This review helps us identify any procedural errors or violation of your rights that could lead to dismissal of the charges or a reduction in penalties.

Following this review, we can advise you on the best course of action moving forward, whether this involves negotiating a plea deal or preparing for trial. We can, for example, argue for lesser charges or alternative sentence options, which might be preferable to more severe penalties.
