Aodhan Murphy Law – Halifax DUI Lawyer (English and French)

I am Aodhan Murphy, principal lawyer of Aodhan Murphy Law in downtown Halifax. I defend people charged with criminal offences, with a focus that includes DUI and impaired driving, and I offer service in both English and French.

Impaired driving defence in Halifax

My impaired driving work centres on challenging breathalyzer results and protecting your driving privileges. I look at how police conducted the stop, whether the screening and breath tests were done properly, and whether your Charter rights were respected. In Nova Scotia a conviction brings a licence revocation of at least a year, so the stakes for your licence and your livelihood are high.

I also defend assault, domestic violence and threat charges, drug possession and trafficking, and theft, fraud and property crimes, and I provide notary public services such as affidavits and travel consent letters.

My practice areas

• DUI and Impaired Driving
• Breathalyzer Challenges

• Notary Public Services

Where I help

My office is on Sackville Street in downtown Halifax. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and I serve clients across the Halifax region in English and French.

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.
