DEFENDING DUI CHARGES ACROSS OSHAWA & DURHAM REGION

Where Your Case Goes

DUI charges across Durham Region are heard at the Lieutenant-Colonel S. S. Sharpe Courthouse, 150 Bond St. E., Oshawa. As your neighbour and local advocate—and an Oshawa Generals season-ticket holder and proud Oshawa resident—I understand the courthouse culture, Crown strategies, and what it takes to secure the best possible outcome.

Enforcement Insights Across the Region

Durham Regional Police (DRPS): Active in Oshawa, suburbs, and holiday hotspots—especially during RIDE blitzes.
OPP: Patrolling highways (401, 407) and rural areas near Scugog, Uxbridge, and Port Perry, where off-road traffic and cottage zones intersect with enforcement.

A Region of Diverse Communities—and Clients

Oshawa: Auto-industry and trades-heavy—many drivers know me by name.
Whitby & Port Perry: Affluent commuters and lakeside families.
Pickering: Greater Toronto commuters on tight schedules.
Courtice & Bowmanville: Cottage-country commuters balancing lifestyle and work.
Beaverton and Surrounding Area: Seasonal traffic and impaired charges in cottage country.

Clients with the Most to Lose

I represent individuals from all walks of life, including:

Professionals: Lawyers, pilots, educators—where a record can close doors.
Vulnerable-sector workers: Teachers, nurses, social workers—background clearances matter.
Business owners & executives: Privacy and reputation are vital.
Contractors and skilled tradespeople: Trucks, tools, job sites—your licence isn’t just mobility; it’s income.
