A DUI Charge Is Serious — But You Have Options

If you’ve been charged with impaired driving, you might be scared, angry, or overwhelmed.

That’s normal.

But before you plead guilty or make any decisions, get the facts. You could be facing:

  • A criminal record

  • A long licence suspension

  • Expensive fines and court costs

  • Sky-high insurance rates

  • Possible jail time

These charges can follow you for life.

But with the right defence, many DUI charges can be reduced or dismissed.

The police and Crown prosecutors know the rules inside and out. You deserve someone on your side who knows how to fight back.

👉 Call (705) 702-4583 now — the sooner you act, the stronger your defence can be.


What Is DUI — What Is Impaired Driving

In Canada, impaired driving is a criminal offence.

It means operating a vehicle while your ability is affected by alcohol, drugs, or both.

DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is just a common term for the same charge.

You can also be charged with:

  • Driving over the legal limit (.08)

  • Refusing a breath or blood test

  • Impaired driving causing injury or death

All of these charges are serious. But they can be fought — with the right defence.


Drinking and Driving Isn’t Always Illegal

This surprises a lot of people.

It’s not illegal to drive with alcohol in your system.
It’s only a crime if:

  • Your ability to drive was impaired, or

  • You were over the legal limit

Even if you blew over the limit, that doesn’t mean you’ll be convicted.

Breath tests can be challenged.
Police procedures can be questioned.
Evidence can be excluded.

Never plead guilty until you’ve talked to a DUI lawyer.


How David Doney Can Help

Every DUI case is different. But no matter the facts, David Doney will look at every angle to build your defence.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • A review of whether police had legal grounds to stop or test you

  • Challenges to the breathalyzer or blood test results

  • Careful review of any investigation errors

  • Negotiations to reduce charges, where appropriate

  • A strong trial defence, if needed

You don’t have to accept the worst-case scenario.

There may be a path forward — and we’ll help you find it.

FAQs About DUI Charges in Guelph

Can I beat a DUI if I failed a breath test

Yes. Failing a breath test doesn’t guarantee a conviction. Breathalyzer tests can be challenged if they were done wrong, used faulty equipment, or broke legal rules.


What happens if I plead guilty

You could face a criminal record, driver’s licence suspension, fines, jail, and sky-high insurance. And once you plead guilty, you can’t undo it. Always talk to a lawyer first.


How can a DUI lawyer help me

A DUI lawyer like David Doney will review your case, look for defences, challenge weak evidence, negotiate with the Crown, and fight to protect your record and your future.


Is it worth fighting a DUI charge

Yes. Even when the case seems strong, there may be errors, weak evidence, or legal issues that can help you win — or at least reduce the damage.


What should I do after being charged

Say as little as possible and call a DUI lawyer right away.
