Do you accept legal aid?

We believe that the legal aid system is not designed in a way that ensures that everyone receives the best possible defence. However, we may accept your case under the appearance of legal aid. Our lawyers also occasionally take pro bono cases. In order to better understand the legal aid system and how private bar lawyers are paid, contact us or click here.
Do I need a lawyer for impaired driving charges?
Impaired driving is a highly complex and specialized field of law that requires a great deal of experience and knowledge in order to understand and use the different means of defence. Below are a few examples of questions that the lawyer must answer in such cases:
1. Can the Crown prove that the person was in care and control of his motor vehicle at the time of the offence?
2. Were the devices used in good working condition and maintained in accordance with the man-ufacturer’s manual?
3. Were the devices used handled correctly?
4. Did the police conduct the tests as soon as practicable?
5. Once pulled over, were the police obliged to wait 15 minutes before taking a breath sample?
6. Were there violations of the constitution while obtaining samples or observing symptoms?
7. Did the police deprive the accused of his or her right to seek a lawyer’s assistance without delay?
8. Was the order to collect a breath sample valid?
9. Under the circumstances, was the individual detained beyond what is considered an ac-ceptable length of time?
10. Did the police have reasonable grounds for suspicion to summon the person to take a breath sample with the approved detection device?
11. Did the police have reasonable grounds to conduct the arrest?
12. Did the person have a reasonable excuse not to breathe into the breathalyzer?
Those are a few examples of questions that lawyers specializing in this branch of law must ask themselves. Since each case is unique, several other elements may need to be analyzed.
How much does an appeal case cost?

Pursuing an appeal is very costly. The bulk of the expense arises from producing the necessary documents for the Court of Appeal to make a decision. Strict rules must be respected or the appeal will be dismissed. In the case of a long trial, having the shorthand notes transcribed and producing the appendices to the legal brief can easily cost several thousand dol-lars, sometimes up to $10 000. However, we are now able to do all the preparatory work within the firm which prevents us from having to hire independent companies to prepare the docu-mentation for us. This significantly reduces the fees we bill our clients. A ceiling price is usually determined with respect to legal fees, helping avoid unpleasant surprises

How long does it take to obtain justice?

The judicial process can seem endless when a victim is seeking justice and compensation for the harm done. However, a Supreme Court decision made in the summer of 2016 dramatically changed the judicial system’s practices and customs with respect to time limits. The Quebec Court of Appeal recently ruled that from now on, lawyers, judges, and all those who have an effect on legal deadlines must act in the most expeditious way possible. If the accused is entitled to a trial within a reasonable timeframe, the alleged victim also has the right to obtain justice promptly. Nevertheless, it is best to expect to wait several months before a case is closed.
Can a lawyer represent me if I am a victim?

Currently, the legal aid system does not grant mandates to lawyers who wish to represent victims of crime. However, thanks to the #metoo movement, we believe that this will soon change. Nevertheless, a lawyer can certainly represent you in a private bar mandate. For de-tails about the applicable fees, do not hesitate to contact us toll-free or check out the section of the website on this subject.
Is it urgent to hire a lawyer following impaired driving charges?
We advise anyone facing such charges to contact a lawyer as soon as possible following their arrest, namely for the following reasons:
1. In exceptional circumstances, the lawyer can contact the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions and submit defence evidence in hopes of avoiding criminal charges.
2. During your first meeting, the lawyer can make verifications in order to determine whether your driver’s license can be recovered quickly by filing an appeal with the Tribunal administratif du Québec in order to contest the charges.
3. If your vehicle was seized, the lawyer can find out if it is possible for it to be recovered by filing a motion for withdrawal of the seizure with the SAAQ.
4. The lawyer can take measures in order to receive disclosure of the evidence prior to appearance and therefore quickly prepare the theory of the case.
It is recommended to contact a lawyer quickly.
Has your firm won drinking and driving cases?

Yes. We invite you to consult our website’s “Recent successes” section.
Why hire our firm?

We are your ally. We believe in getting the best possible result for you. We will make sure that you are consistently well represented and that the judicial system proves equal to the task. Do not hesitate to contact us. Our lawyers will always take the time to listen to you.
Can I appeal the decision and retry my case?

You can certainly make inquiries with one of our appeals lawyers to find out whether it is ap-propriate to go to the Court of Appeal. Unlike in other countries, the Canadian judicial system does not allow re-trials on appeal. Essentially, appeal courts are there to make sure that the process that led to your conviction was fair and that the applicable rules of law were respect-ed. Very rarely does the Court of Appeal accept new evidence that was not presented at trial. However, you must be aware that you have only one opportunity to state your case. It is safe to say that most of the time, a trial is won the first time round. Therefore, it is important to in-vest the necessary resources and energy at the beginning of proceedings.

What is a ceiling price?

The hourly rate will apply until the ceiling price (maximum price) prearranged with the lawyer has been reached.

Charged with driving while prohibited, a client receives a fine

Driving while prohibited A client of our firm was charged with driving while prohibited under Section 259(4) of the Criminal Code. Despite the “legal trend” that the courts impose a firm minimum sentence of 30 days in prison, the judge instead imposed a $3000 fine. It should be noted that the difficulty in this case […]
