Insurance consequences should be considered
Clients should discuss insurance, employment, travel, licensing, and background-check concerns before resolution.
Testing records may be technical
Breath or drug testing records, certificates, timing, demands, officer notes, and video need careful review.

Common Questions
Impaired driving questions Burlington clients often ask.
Can impaired driving affect my insurance?
It can. Insurance consequences should be considered before any resolution decision.
Can I drive once the impound ends?
Only if your licence is valid and no suspension or prohibition prevents driving.
What if the allegation involves drugs, not alcohol?
Drug-impaired allegations require review of observations, testing records, timing, and disclosure.
