Impaired Driving and DUI Defence in Alberta
A criminal impaired driving allegation can affect your freedom, employment, insurance, reputation, and future. The first hours and days can be confusing, and early decisions may affect how the case is handled.
When a Criminal Charge Is Involved
At Queck & Associates, we help clients understand the criminal process and respond strategically. We review the circumstances of the stop, the driving evidence, the investigation, the testing process, disclosure, and the available defence options.
What We Review
The reason for the stop and the circumstances of the driving
The roadside demand, testing, and investigation
The disclosure and technical evidence
Whether Charter rights and other legal requirements were respected
Potential defence strategies based on the facts of the case
Criminal Charges and Roadside Sanctions Are Different
An Immediate Roadside Sanction is an administrative driving penalty, not the same thing as a criminal impaired driving charge. If you received a roadside suspension or vehicle seizure, the administrative process has its own rules and short deadlines. Our Immediate Roadside Sanction service addresses that separate process.
