DUI Lawyer Cape Breton
DUI Lawyer Cape Breton: Legal Access has created a network of lawyers that have proven to be proficient with beating DUI charges. A charge of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol pursuant to Section the Criminal Code of Canada is serious. If you are convicted after a trial, this charge carries serious consequences including a criminal record that can cause major disruption to your life, including your livelihood and travel abroad.
DUI Lawyer Cape Breton: Our lawyers have successfully defended countless people that have been accused of DUI’s in Nova Scotia. The Supreme Court of Canada has pronounced in cases such as Jordan that unreasonable delay by the crown and the courts can in and of itself be a basis for dismissal of charges. This includes DUI charges. However, delay caused by the accused is subtracted from any delay that is attributed to the crown and courts when the unreasonable delay is calculated by the court. This means it is important for accused people to act quickly when choosing counsel. It is unclear how the delay caused in the criminal justice system will impact applications by accused to seek to have charges withdrawn based on unreasonable delay.
Our lawyers will explore any option to beat your charges that are available to them including possible delay arguments that we alluded to above. There are many technical arguments that our lawyers often explore including whether the procedural and Charter Rights of an accused were respected in the apprehension of the breathalyzer results for example.
DUI Lawyer Cape Breton: One positive side effect of our courts response to COVID 19 has been an inclination of the courts to host trials and other hearings via teleconference and video link. This has been beneficial for our clients because now the options for choosing lawyers is broader in that a lawyer that resides in Halifax does not pass on travel expense to their clients if they handle a trial in Cape Breton.
