has been working as a criminal lawyer in Toronto for over 15 years. During this time, Toronto DUI Lawyer Robb MacDonald has defended numerous individuals facing charges of “impaired driving”, “over 80”, and “refusing to provide a breath sample.”
These charges are difficult to defend and a Toronto defence lawyer must be thorough in assessing the evidence against an accused in order to determine the best possible defence strategy. Occasionally charter arguments will have to be brought. In the reported decision of R v. Mach [2009] O.J. No. 3326, Robb defended an individual facing charges of impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample. In the face of a very strong Crown case, Robb brought a Charter argument pursuant to section 11(B). Ultimately all charges were stayed as against the Accused.
It is important to consult with a lawyer immediately after charges are laid. The lawyer will need to act efficiently in assessing the case against you and in preparing a defence.

The impaired driving law typically involves driving while under the influence of alcohol, but can also include charges of driving while impaired by other intoxicants or drugs. In Ontario, drivers who are suspected of being impaired are also often charged with Drive Over 80mg and Refuse Breath Test.
