DUI, Impaired driving
When it is alleged that you were drunk while driving, you can be charged for impaired driving, driving over .80 and refusal to provide breath samples. Alcohol related offences are the most heavily litigated areas of criminal law even though they are one of the most defensible. This area of criminal law is also one of the most technical, requiring experience and knowledge in the law and instrumentation involved. At Prudentia Law, we will assist you in early resolution negotiations with the crown that may sometimes see the charges dropped. We can also assist you at trial by challenging the facts which may include observations and actions of the police at the initial interactions, the state of the roadside instrument and breathalyzer machine etc. We can also use the Charter of Rights and Freedom and interpret the laws in your favor for the best possible outcome.
Fraud & Theft
Theft is what is commonly known as stealing, i.e., taking something that does not belong to you. Though similar to theft, fraud has an additional element of deceit or misrepresentation in the offence. The severity of these charges is largely dependent on two factors: the value of the goods taken (the greater the value the more serious the offence) and the sophistication of the theft (the more sophisticated the act or scheme the more serious the offence). Due to the number of legal complexities surrounding these types of cases, you will benefit from our experience and knowledge for the best possible outcome.
Drug offences
