Testing timelines are technical
Roadside demands, station tests, right-to-counsel events, officer notes, and video should be reviewed carefully.
Employment consequences may be immediate
Clients who drive for work should collect job documents and get advice before making decisions.

How We Help
Impaired driving issues we help Acton clients review.
Impaired operation review
We assess allegations involving alcohol, drugs, or a combination and the evidence said to show impairment.
Over 80 and testing records
We review breath records, approved screening device issues, timing, certificates, and officer notes.
Refusal allegations
We examine the demand, communication, timing, medical or language issues, and whether the allegation is supported by disclosure.
Licence and collateral consequences
We consider suspension, impoundment, employment, insurance, immigration, travel, and record concerns.

Common Questions
Impaired driving questions Acton clients often ask.
Can I drive after an impaired driving charge?
Only if your licence is valid and no suspension or prohibition prevents it. Check before driving.
Is refusal different from impaired driving?
Yes. Refusal or failure to comply with a valid demand can be charged separately and needs its own evidence review.
Can an impaired driving charge affect work?
It can, especially if driving, insurance, licensing, or background checks are part of the job.
