His practice is 100% DUI & Impaired Driving Law, and he has offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Toronto, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg.

DUI law is high technical, counter-intuitive and can change very quickly. This is both a good and bad thing. The good news (for someone who is charged with impaired driving) is that, because the law is so technical, even if you blow over the legal limit, you may still be able to avoid a criminal conviction, avoid jail, and keep your driver’s license. The bad new is that, because it is so technical, most people won’t be able to tell whether or not they have a workable defence. After you’ve gone through the site, it would be a good idea to call Mr. Pearse to clarify any questions you may have.
Alan did a very good job. I felt like the police were on trial.
Allan Pearce was amazing and made the whole process easy to understand and gave me peace of mind. His experience and knowledge assured me that I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend him as I didn't even have to step a foot in the court room and he won my case with ease. If you end up in the same situation give this man a call because he gets results fast. Thank you Allan for everything, I am very grateful for how quickly you resolved this problem for me and how easy you were to talk to.
I’m a single mother, and was going through a very bad breakup. I made a terrible mistake by drinking and driving, and put my child at risk. However, this is not who I really am. I’m generally very against drunk driving. I know that what I did was wrong, but I’m basically a good person. Alan met with me very quickly, and got the ball rolling. He was straightforward and honest, and told me what my chances were. I eventually decided to fight the charges, because I just couldn’t have a criminal record. I was very impressed with his abilities in court, and I eventually won the trial. Thank you so much.
Alan was very professional and got the absolute best results!!! Would recommend him to anybody !!! Thank you Alan
Alan represented me for the last 20 months with various charges. He has had all of my charges and fines dropped. He was always diligent at responding to my calls and texts when I had questions or concerns. His experience in DUI law and winning track record speaks for itself. I highly recommend Alan to anyone facing these charges and all of the other charges/fines that come along with anyone’s case.
Mr. Pearse routinely gives lectures to, and answers questions from, lawyers throughout Canada. He is commonly consulted by lawyer organizations like the Canadian Bar Association for input and advice on impaired driving issues and has written many position papers in this capacity.
The vast majority of impaired driving trials depend on the ability of the lawyer to effectively cross-examine the police. Police officers are essentially sophisticated professional witnesses, testifying countless times throughout their careers. Mr. Pearse is well known for his highly effective, focused and determined cross-examination style.
Mr. Pearse practices ONLY impaired driving. 100% of his practice is impaired driving, 08 and refusal litigation. By refusing other criminal files, his practice is focused on delivering the best possible results for his clients.
