IRS Commercial Driver Suspension Appeals

Have you received Alberta Immediate Roadside Sanctions (IRS) under Alberta’s impaired driving laws? It’s important to know your rights and appeal options. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to help you understand your situation and make informed decisions.

You only have 7 days from the date you received your IRS suspension to dispute it.

DO NOT pay the fine until after you speak to us. Paying the fine is an admission of guilt and forfeits your appeal rights.
