REPRESENTATION FOR A DUI CHARGE in Surrey, BC
British Columbia’s impaired driving regime is complex and can be difficult to navigate on your own.  Although impaired driving offences are commonly referred to as a “DUI charge”, the term “DUI” is not a legal term that is used in British Columbia.  Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs in British Columbia can result in administrative penalties and/or criminal charges, depending on the unique circumstances of each case.
There are serious consequences for impaired driving under both the administrative penalty regime and the Criminal Code. An impaired driving charge, or “DUI charge”, can have long-lasting effects on your life, so it is crucial to seek the advice of an experienced DUI lawyer in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. Our experienced team at Cote & Evans Trial Lawyers will provide you with guidance, protect your rights, and fight to minimize the penalties you may face. Whether you are contesting the charges themselves or seeking to manage the consequences of an impaired driving offence, having an experienced DUI lawyer on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
