My wife and I want to thank Edwin Boeve for his hard work and advice during our son's impaired driving charge. The firm had done all of the pre-trial leg work and our son was able to attend school while the firm looked after early Court dates. As a result of Edwin's dedication to our son's trial, he was able to achieve the result we had hoped for "Not Guilty".

This has taken a tremendous weight off our son's shoulders as he does some driving in the job he is doing. I personally want to say thanks to Edwin and team and I know our son is very happy with his hard work and result. From my standpoint I would highly recommend Edwin Boeve for any person needing legal representation.

Again thank you very much.

Charged with a drinking and driving offense and unsure of all your options? Uncertain about the cost involved in defending a DUI charge in court? Unsure if you can afford to hire the best legal representation to fight your impaired driving case for you? At Aiken Robertson, we offer a complimentary 30 minute consolation with one of our expert team of criminal lawyers experienced in drinking and driving cases to discuss your case with you. After this initial interview, we will be better able to give you a truthful, fair and affordable evaluation of what the costs in your case are likely to be. Our main concern is representing our clients to achieve the best possible legal outcome. As each criminal case is different, the cost of each case and the fees charged will vary accordingly. Our extensive experience in fighting impaired driving charges over the years allows us to formulate an accurate estimation of the cost of your particular case so that we can tell you what your approximate defense costs will be up front. Together we will formulate a payment plan that is affordable for you and your personal financial circumstances. As affordable criminal defense lawyers, Aitken Robertson will not charge you an hourly rate for our services. We use block billing, where clients are charged for the work that is done and the results that are achieved. With block billing, clients may talk to their lawyer without worrying about what they are being charged by the minute. As well, we do not charge interest on our payment plans.

After accepting your case, we get to work with an intensive investigation of all the details and events surrounding the case. Through careful examination of the facts, we will establish whether there are grounds to have your charges dismissed for legal or technical reasons. We will also determine if there has been a violation of your Charter of Rights and Freedoms. All the circumstances of the case, including police evidence, will be reviewed. A thorough investigation can mean the difference between having the charges dropped and going to trial. It is usually what makes the difference between receiving a guilty verdict or a not-guilty verdict and a harsh plea bargain agreement or a favorable one.

Retaining a lawyer who specializes in impaired driving cases is crucial when it comes time to review police reports of the incident. An experienced DUI lawyer will establish whether any breaches, errors or omissions were made by police. The police are required to follow stringent procedures and they have a duty to uphold your rights as outlined in Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Drunk driving, DUI, impaired driving or refusal are all very technical criminal charges and require an experience DUI lawyer to determine if procedure has been followed and that your rights have not been violated in any way.

Fighting an Impaired driving charge is a complicated process and may involve a combination of laws, both federal and provincial, including those from the Criminal Code, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Highway Traffic Act, Federal Boating Regulations, and the Civil Remedies Act. Representing yourself against an impaired driving conviction is not a viable option. In fact, Paralegals are no longer allowed to represent clients charged with impaired driving offences because of how complicated and technical these charges are. At Aiken Robertson, our in-depth knowledge, expertise and experience ensure that you will be strongly represented both in and out of court.

Charged with a serious driving offense? You may be wondering if you should seek professional legal advice. In Canada, a conviction is never a foregone conclusion with any criminal charge. An experience criminal lawyer, who specializes in fighting drinking and driving offenses, will discuss with you all potential legal defenses available to you to defeat an impaired driving charge. For anyone facing criminal charges, legal fees are always a concern. However, you must weight legal fee costs against what an impaired driving conviction may ultimately cost you, in terms of fines, loss of driver's license, jail time, lost income and the stigma and restrictions that are the result of a criminal record.

Canadian drinking and driving laws and Ontario drinking and driving laws are always changing. In order to stand the best chance of obtaining a successful outcome in court when fighting drunk driving charges, chose a legal representative who is knowledgeable, experienced and thoroughly up to date on any changes in the criminal code in regards to driving offenses. Seeking the legal advice of a criminal lawyer who specializes in impaired driving cases is the first step in understanding all of your rights and options. An impaired driving arrest is a serious offense and, depending on many particulars of the case, can have different consequences for each individual. It is crucial that anyone facing a DUI charge understand what challenges they will encounter.
