"I wish it could have been 100 stars! I hired Calvin Barry Law firm as my legal representative for criminal charges I faced which lasted about 4 years and I got the best judgement out of the case as not guilty of all the 3 count charges.

For a case that lasted for 4 years due to covid and Canada's judiciary's system; my legal fees were almost nothing! I had a team of great lawyers represent me throughout the case even while I was out of the country.

From the start to the end of my legal case, the law firm was always ready to answer my questions any day any time be it the weekend or after regular working hours. This constant communication without no exhausting fee definitely put my mind at rest throughout the entire process and enabled me carry on with my daily life hassle free.

All the lawyers assigned to my case down to Breana!!! took ownership of the matter and made me feel secured that on the days of Trial, I was so calm that no one would have imagined I was facing a punishable crime if found guilty!

Kudos to the entire team at Calvin Barry Law firm and keep doing what you all are doing by standing up for injustice and being the voice of the voiceless.

Criminal charges aren't something anyone would ever wish for but in any case life throws herself at me again, I'm rest assured to know Calvin Barry got me!

I will definitely recommend Calvin Barry law firm to anybody seeking justice in a hassle-free and cost effective manner."

Calvin was interviewed by CityNews on the new initiative enacted by the OPP to request breath samples from all drivers pulled over in the GTA:

"Barry stressed that the best defence to avoid a charge altogether is by refraining from drinking and driving."

“When people ask me at a cocktail party, they come up and say, ‘Calvin, I saw you on TV talking about drunk driving, what’s the best defence out there? And I look at them and I go, ‘Two words,’ and they come up closer and I go ‘take Uber.'”

OPP's mandatory breathalyzers are 'constitutionally sound' says prominent DUI lawyer In a release Wednesday, the OPP confirmed they’re now conducing Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) “as part of every traffic stop.”

Although domestic assault is not specified as an offence in the Criminal Code of Canada, it remains as one of the most common crimes and is taken very seriously by the Canadian police, the courts, and the Crown Attorney. This is because a victim of domestic assault lives with the alleged abuser in most cases and is usually in increased danger of escalation once a report has been made. With this said, not everyone who has been accused of domestic assault is guilty of the crime. There are rare instances when the report made is fraudulent or was made with a malicious motive. If you find yourself accused of domestic assault in Canada, here is what you should do.
