We are Pinx and Co, a criminal defence law firm in downtown Winnipeg. The firm was founded in 2000 by Sheldon Pinx, K.C., and Jonathan Pinx practises with the firm, with a focus that includes impaired driving and Charter rights.

Impaired driving defence in Winnipeg

We defend impaired driving (DUI) charges, including breathalyzer refusals and impaired driving causing death, and we help clients with the licence suspensions that follow. In Manitoba a roadside fail or refusal brings an immediate three-month suspension and a year of ignition interlock, so early advice matters.

Our approach starts with your Charter rights: whether the stop was lawful, whether the demands were properly made, whether you were able to speak with a lawyer, and whether the breath testing was done correctly. Where the evidence was obtained improperly, we challenge it.

We also defend drug offences, sexual assault and violent crime charges, act at bail hearings with urgent 24/7 assistance, and handle criminal appeals. Your first consultation is free.

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.
