Patterson Law – Truro, Halifax & New Glasgow Impaired Driving Lawyers

We are Patterson Law, a Nova Scotia firm with offices in Truro, Halifax, New Glasgow and Bridgewater. Our criminal defence lawyers act for people charged with impaired driving and other offences across the province.

Impaired driving defence in Nova Scotia

We defend charges of impaired driving, impaired care or control, over 80 (failing a breathalyzer), refusal of a breathalyzer test, and impaired driving causing bodily harm or death. These charges can involve technical defences, and our lawyers are prepared to raise them. We also defend other motor vehicle offences, including dangerous driving and hit and run.

Because we have offices outside Halifax, we can meet clients close to home in Colchester, Pictou and the South Shore, as well as in the city.

Charged with impaired driving in Truro? 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.
