Common Questions
Impaired driving questions Aurora clients often ask.
Can an impaired driving charge affect professional licensing?
It can in some circumstances, so licensing and employment concerns should be raised before resolution.
Can I drive once the vehicle is released?
Only if your licence is valid and no suspension or prohibition prevents driving.
What if I asked for a lawyer during testing?
Right-to-counsel timing and access should be reviewed with the disclosure, video, and officer notes.
