David S. Green – Halifax Impaired Driving Lawyer

I am David S. Green, a Halifax barrister and solicitor with a law degree and an MBA from Dalhousie University. My practice includes criminal defence, and impaired driving defence is one of my main areas of work.

Impaired driving defence in Halifax

An impaired driving charge can cost you your licence, your job and your insurance. In Nova Scotia a first conviction brings a licence revocation of at least a year, and a second brings three years. I review the evidence in detail, from the reason for the traffic stop to the roadside screening, the breath demand and the testing procedure, and I advise you honestly about your options.

I also defend drug offences, and my practice covers personal injury, including car accident claims, wrongful dismissal and other civil litigation. That background is useful when a driving case also involves a collision or an insurance claim.

My office is in the Duke Tower at Scotia Square in downtown Halifax: take the elevator to the 6th floor from the lobby. Parking is available in the Scotia Square Parkade. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and I represent clients across Nova Scotia.

Charged with impaired driving in Halifax? Key facts

From Nova Scotia DUI Lawyers: in Nova Scotia, a roadside “warn” reading of .05 to .08 brings an immediate roadside suspension of 7 days for a first occurrence in 10 years, 15 days for a second and 30 days for a third, and police may impound the vehicle. Blowing over .08 or refusing a breath test brings a separate administrative licence suspension, and a Criminal Code conviction means your licence is revoked for at least one year on a first offence, three years on a second and indefinitely on a third. Getting your licence back requires an Addiction Services assessment and a reinstatement fee. See Nova Scotia DUI penalties and the Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program. New drivers must have no alcohol at all. Read our guide to Nova Scotia impaired driving laws and about impaired driving charges, and speak with a lawyer early.
