The consequences of just being charged (meaning before you are found guilty) with driving with excess blood alcohol are the same as those for impaired driving charge (see our “impaired driving”) and refusing to provide a sample, such as an automatic 90-day administrative driver’s license suspension, and a seven-day impoundment of your vehicle with costly towing and impounding fees at your expense. If found guilty at trial, you face a mandatory minimum fine of $1000.00, as well as a minimum 1-year driver’s license suspension followed by another year during which you can only drive in a vehicle equipped with an interlock device, which are costly to install and maintain. In the case of an accident, or if this was not your first drinking and driving offence, those penalties would increase significantly, and include the possibility of jail time.

At Gavran Criminal Defence, our philosophy is that dedication, attention to detail, well prepared strategy and effective advocacy is what secures the best results.
