My Cases — Driving Offences

The Crown is tough on driving offences, especially drinking and driving. For many of you, having a driver's licence is essential. It's something worth fighting for. If you've been charged, you may feel overwhelmed, and not know your options. When Earl first saw me, he defeatedly told me: "I know I can't beat the machine." He was mistaken. Keith had no reason to feel confident, but that changed the morning of the trial. I told Seth that he had a slim-to-none chance. In the end, my caution looked like false modesty. All information has been edited, of course, to protect my clients' privacy.
