If you were in Ontario for work, vacation, hunting, fishing, or even crossed the border at Niagara Falls by mistake, an impaired driving charge here can be overwhelming. We regularly defend Canadian drivers from other provinces and American visitors who find themselves charged in Ontario, protecting their licence, their record, and their ability to travel.

When you are charged in Ontario, you face Ontario’s impaired driving laws and penalties. Most Canadian provinces have licence reciprocity agreements that enforce Ontario suspensions and convictions as if they happened in your home province. Many U.S. states receive notice of an Ontario DUI conviction and may impose their own penalties. For example, a DUI in Ontario with a New York license or a DUI in Ontario with a Michigan license can lead to action against your driving privileges at home. For an overview, see our DUI Penalties in Ontario and DUI and Immigration Consequences pages.

You do not need to attend every court date in Ontario. We appear for you at routine hearings, keeping you fully updated. Even if your matter goes to trial, if you wish, we can often arrange for you to appear by Zoom with court approval, avoiding costly and disruptive travel. This is especially important if you were a tourist charged with DUI in Ontario or a non-resident facing impaired driving charges while here temporarily.

We focus on building a strong defence, whether the charge arose from a RIDE check, roadside stop, or another situation. We examine every aspect of the case from the legality of the stop to the compliance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to find weaknesses in the Crown’s case. If your charge involved a roadside or checkpoint stop, you may also want to review our Over 80 Charges in Ontario and Fail or Refuse to Provide a Sample pages.

The sooner you get legal help in Ontario, the better your chances of avoiding or reducing the impact of the charge at home. Call us 24/7 for a free, confidential consultation. We will explain the Ontario court process, how your home jurisdiction is likely to respond, and what we can do to defend you from start to finish.

With serious penalties on the line, you owe it to yourself to get proper legal advice and build a strong defence.

Every successful defence begins with a clear plan. With over two decades of experience, we’ve developed a proven four-step case assessment process that guides you from uncertainty to resolution with confidence and clarity.

OUR LEGAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS

1

COMPLIMENTARY ASSESSMENT

This is a full hour-long consultation, not a sales pitch. We take the time to understand you, not just the charge. We’ll talk through what happened, how you're doing, what the court process will look like, the potential outcomes, defence costs, and your most pressing questions. You’ll leave the call with a clear roadmap and the confidence of knowing what happens next.

2

Intake and Set-Dates

Once you’ve hired us, we take over the administrative burden. We’ll obtain all police disclosure and appear at every set-date court appearance on your behalf, so you don’t have to miss work or worry about procedure. Behind the scenes, we’re already reviewing your file and preparing for the real fight ahead.

3

Analysis and Pre-Trials

Our entire team meets to analyze the disclosure, identify viable defences, and research the legal and factual issues in your case. We consult with you before engaging the Crown, either to set a trial date or negotiate a resolution that protects your future. You’re kept in the loop, but we carry the legal weight for you.

4

Hearing Date

This is where it all comes together—either in trial or in resolution. Mr. Avery will be in court beside you, fully prepared to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome. Whether we’re arguing for an acquittal or negotiating final terms, your case is in the hands of an experienced advocate who knows how to win.
