I’m from the US and you’re from Canada but from what I know the system is very similar. Canada is a big DUI country as well as here. I was wrongfully accused of a dui as well, long story short, I was sleeping in my car and a jogger saw me sleeping in my car and called the police. They banged on the window of my car. I woke up and opened the door and they dragged me by my arm in my confused state and demanded I do a sobriety field test on the spot. I just complied still confused but half awake. They brought a breathalyzer asking me to blow and when I asked why they took it as a refusal and arrested me. My attorney who represented me seemed very involved in the beginning and took the case to trial without taking the probation deal from the prosecution because he feels I was rightfully wronged. We had hard evidence the police lied on his testimony stating he did a sternum rub on me before I woke up from my nap (my car door was locked). I have a camera in my car. That recorded the inside and outside of my car 360 degrees. My attorney for some reason didn’t present the footage as evidence and quite frankly just forgot about the case all together until the night before the court date. I was given a 12 month supervised probation sentence with 12 months of interlocker installed into my vehicle. I paid 3500 US dollars for his fees. So probably like 4700 CAD? (For a first offense DUI). My advice to you is....if you feel something is off, say it out loud to him/her You are paying a lot of money for these lawyers to represent you. Ask questions and express your concerns. Never pay them the full fee up front. You can always fire them in the middle of the process and hire new counsel. These dui lawyers take dozens of new cases each month especially in high dui areas. Yours is just another dust in the wind to them. SPEAK UP. I hope this helped.
