We defend every type of impaired driving charge for Thornhill clients — from a first-time over 80 charge to refusal and bodily-harm charges. If your situation is not listed, call us — the consultation is free.
Our Approach
How We Defend Your Case
Call us immediately after an arrest or roadside suspension. We explain the charge, the deadlines you are facing, and your realistic options.
We review any immediate roadside licence suspension and, where available, file for an early reinstatement or review.
We obtain and scrutinize breathalyzer maintenance records, officer notes, video, and the timing of every step in the stop and arrest.
Where reasonable grounds were lacking or your right to counsel was breached, we bring formal applications to exclude the resulting evidence.
We negotiate directly with the Crown, working toward a withdrawal, reduced charge, or resolution that protects your licence and your record.
If a fair resolution isn't available, we take the matter to trial and rigorously test the reliability of the Crown's evidence.
Charged with DUI in Thornhill? Every Hour Matters.
Early legal advice — before you speak to police, before your roadside suspension review deadline passes — makes a real difference in the outcome of your case. Legal Solutions Law Firm is available 24/7 and your consultation is always free.

Client Testimonials
What Our Thornhill Clients Say
I had a very positive experience with Legal Solutions Law Firm. Ryan represented me in a family court matter and provided excellent guidance and support throughout the entire process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly. Family court matters can be stressful, but Ryan helped make the process much easier and gave me confidence every step of the way. I truly appreciated his dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Legal Solutions Law Firm and Ryan to anyone looking for a compassionate and experienced family lawyer.
We tried to defend ourselves in civil court, but ultimately decided to hire Ryan — and it was the wisest decision we have made in the last two years of hell with our condo managers. Ryan and his team have been exceptional: swift, sharp, on the ball, and always asking the right questions while making the right arguments to move our case forward to the Superior Court.
Ryan did an outstanding job on my case. He was clear, professional, and always kept me informed. Thanks to his hard work, my charges were dropped. I’m very grateful and highly recommend him.
I wish I could add five more stars to show how happy we are with the legal services of Ryan J. Manilla and his team. They took charge of our legal matters, worked tirelessly on short notice, and delivered outstanding legal documents on time. Their teamwork, professionalism, patience, and understanding of our situation gave us tremendous peace of mind. Most importantly, we sleep better at night knowing that we are in good hands, with a legal team that has the expertise and compassion to handle sensitive matters with care.
I had a great experience working with Ryan at Legal Solutions. He is professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. Any time I had questions, he got back to me quickly and provided practical advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.
I was going through anxiety not knowing what to expect with my case. Ryan explained everything simply and stood up for me at my hearing. I’m really thankful for his help!
I had such a stressful time trying to find legal help. I felt lost and hopeless when I got a notice to appear at the LTB. When I found Ryan, he stepped up and defended me. He’s knowledgeable about both the LTB and criminal law, and most importantly he’s tough! Exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad I found him.
Ryan is a tough lawyer who defended us during a very difficult time. He helped me with a Landlord and Tenant Board issue. People told me to get a paralegal, but the ones I contacted either wouldn’t help or couldn’t communicate well in English. When I found Ryan, he explained the situation clearly and told me what to do. He showed up to the hearing tough and ready to go. I’m so glad I found him!
One of the best. Well poised, smart articulate. Know his stuff and one of the best lawyer out there to work with.

From My Experience: Thornhill Clients Underestimate How Technical DUI Cases Are
The most common thing I hear from Thornhill clients at our first meeting is some version of, "I made a mistake, and now I do not know what happens to my licence or my job." A DUI charge feels overwhelming, but the case against you is rarely as airtight as it first appears.
The single biggest factor in how a DUI case turns out is often what happens in the first 24 to 48 hours — whether the officer had proper grounds for the stop, whether your right to counsel was respected, and whether the breath testing equipment was properly maintained and administered. Waiting even a few days to get legal advice can mean losing opportunities that simply cannot be recovered later.
If you are facing a DUI or impaired driving charge in Thornhill or elsewhere in York Region, call us before your next court date or roadside suspension deadline. The consultation is free and there is no obligation: 416-274-2222.
