Profile
Exclusive DUI Defence Since 1988
Engel DUI Law is a specialized criminal defence firm located in the Corktown neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The firm is led by Michael Engel, a senior lawyer with over 40 years of courtroom experience. Before establishing his private practice in 1988, Michael served as an Assistant Crown Attorney, giving him a unique ‘prosecutor’s perspective’ that he now uses to defend his clients. Unlike general practitioners, Michael Engel focuses exclusively on drinking and driving offences, making him one of the most knowledgeable authorities on DUI law in the province.
Defending Against Impaired Driving Charges
The firm handles the full spectrum of alcohol-related driving offences. Michael Engel understands that these charges are technical and complex, often hinging on the precise operation of breathalyzer machines and the conduct of police officers. His practice areas include:
- Impaired Driving: Challenging the evidence of impairment to avoid a criminal record.
- Over 80: scrutinizing breath samples and technical data to find errors in the Crown’s case.
- Refuse Breath Sample: Defending clients who have been charged with failing to provide a breath sample, often due to medical or communicative issues.
- Care and Control: Representing individuals found in a vehicle while impaired, even if the vehicle was not moving.
Engel DUI Law offers a transparent fee structure, with a basic rate starting from $250 and options for hourly or flat-fee billing depending on the complexity of the case. Michael Engel is known for his honesty; he will not waste a client’s time or money if a case cannot be won. However, if there is a defence, he will find it. If you need to urgently hire a lawyer for a DUI arrest, the firm is available to help you navigate the immediate consequences, such as licence suspensions and vehicle impoundment.
