I am Daniel A. Wolson, a Winnipeg criminal defence lawyer. My practice is devoted to defending people charged with criminal offences, and impaired driving is one of my main areas of work.

Impaired driving defence in Winnipeg

A DUI allegation is not a conviction. Every impaired driving case depends on whether police followed the procedures the law requires, and a mistake can change the outcome. I review the roadside stop, the breath testing procedure, the calibration and maintenance records for the equipment, the officers’ notes, the disclosure and whether you were given your right to a lawyer.

I defend impaired driving, over 80 and refusal charges, and I help clients understand how a roadside suspension and the criminal case affect each other. I also defend sexual assault, narcotics, fraud and violent crime charges.

Arrests rarely happen during office hours, so I make myself available 24/7 for urgent situations. Payment by cash, cheque or e-transfer is accepted.

Charged with impaired driving in Winnipeg? Key facts

From Manitoba DUI Lawyers: most impaired driving stops in Manitoba now begin with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition. A “fail” on a roadside screening device, or a refusal, brings a three-month licence suspension, a $700 administrative penalty, vehicle impoundment, a 10-level drop on the Driver Safety Rating scale and a year in the Ignition Interlock Program. A “warn” reading of .05 to .079 brings a suspension of 72 hours to 60 days and a penalty of at least $400. See Manitoba DUI penalties. You can apply to MPI for a review of the suspension, and police can still lay Criminal Code charges, which go to court separately. Penalties are tougher for serious cases: a second conviction for impaired driving causing death or injury within 10 years now brings a lifetime licence suspension.
