Facing Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP, also known as DUI) charges can be overwhelming and stressful. Your driving privileges, reputation, and future are at stake.
At Sarah Leamon Law, we understand the importance of having an experienced lawyer by your side. Our Vanderhoof lawyers are experienced in defending against IRP charges. With a proven track record of success, we have helped many of our clients regain their licenses and clear their driving records.
Let us fight for your rights and help you navigate the complexities of IRP and driving-related laws.
Provincial IRP vs. Federal Impaired Driving Laws
The IRP is a civil administrative process with immediate consequences, while federal impaired driving offences are criminal charges with potentially severe penalties.
Disputing an IRP can be challenging due to brief timelines, specific procedures, and limited defences. At Sarah Leamon Law, we have a deep understanding of IRP laws. Our experienced lawyers will guide you through the process, ensuring you take the right steps to protect your rights.
What You Need to Know
The consequences of an IRP can be severe and far-reaching. Depending on your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and prior driving record, you may face driving prohibitions, fines, vehicle impoundment, and additional requirements such as attending costly programming or installing an ignition interlock device.
These consequences can have a wide-ranging and long-term impact on your life. At Sarah Leamon Law, we are committed to helping you mitigate or avoid these consequences.
Our experienced lawyers will work tirelessly to fight for your rights and help you regain your driving privileges.
Your Best Chance of Success
Challenging an IRP, is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of the law and procedure. You have just seven days to apply for a review of an IRP, and any errors in the application process can significantly hinder your chances of success.
At Sarah Leamon Law, we have a proven track record of successfully representing clients in IRP review hearings, particularly in the Vanderhoof BC Provincial Court, located at 2440 Bute Avenue
Our approach involves meticulous review of the police processes and evidence, identifying potential defences, and representing you in the hearing.
With our dedication, we can help you regain your driving privileges and clear your record in the Vanderhoof jurisdiction.
