Legal Counsel for Immediate Roadside Sanctions
If you are under investigation for impaired driving, you will receive a Notice of Administrative Penalty.

You will be required to attend a Planning Ahead Program which prohibits you from driving until completion. Please contact us within seven days of receiving your Notice of Administrative Penalty. Our team has proven success in contesting our clients’ notices and getting them canceled.
Legal Defence for Criminal Code Driving Offences
The investigating officer may have charged you under Canada’s Criminal Code driving offences. Convictions under the Criminal Code are more severe than standard roadside sanctions because they’ll go on your criminal record. Depending on your charge’s severity or criminal record, you may be subject to fines, driving prohibition, non-custodial penalties, and jail. Non-Canadian citizens can face immigration penalties. If you’ve been charged under the Criminal Code, you and your legal representative must appear in court on the date specified in your promise to appear or undertaking. The team at BW Law has helped countless clients fight and overcome their Criminal Code charges and avoid steep penalties and consequences.
