Click to report rating    4/8/25   5     5     5     5     5   We came across Mr. Calvin Barry's website and was amazed with the Firm's experience in all areas of the law, especially with criminal offences. We are grateful with the outcome of the DUI charges, professionally handled by a trial lawyer, Mr. Shale Wagman and the attentiveness of his junior lawyer (student-at-law), Mr. Rawi Asghar made all the difference on our case. The Firm's commitment, dedication, concerns and assurance with an associate lawyer, Mr. Kunal Mishra had put Alexander as ease with the legal process with all possible outcome. This experience and the favorable outcome of the DUI charges have renewed our faith & trust in the legal system. A sincere thank you to all associates & staff of the law firm Calvin Barry, Criminal Lawyers. RID: 272721
Click to report rating    3/14/25   5     5     5     5     5   Very happy that my DUI charges were tossed by the judge.

Click to report rating    11/26/24   5     5     5     5     5   Calvin Barry is the best. He was excellent in court and knew everyone in the courtroom. Calvin had my charges thrown out and my prints and photos destroyed. We did not admit to any wrongdoing and it was an excellent result, as I don’t have a criminal record and I could not not have in my business. Absolute top shelf representation. RID: 271353
Click to report rating    10/30/24   5     5     5     5     5   I had a traumatizing experience about 1.5yrs ago and it was a serious case. I was charged with a DUI, Stunt Driving and 2 other charges. It was not an easy case to deal with and I thank my lucky stars, angels that came in the form of my LAWYERS. Akash Dhillon took over the case that my other lawyers were facilitating and I cannot let them go unnoticed (Rohit Chibber, Jeremy Naresh, Mohit Chibber). They all were beyond helpful and supportive through this stressful period. My case closed with careless driving and interlock to be installed. These kinds of life moments really change the trajectory of your life path and i'm grateful that I had a team that had my back. Since then, I've turned my life around. Thank you so much to Calvin Barry's team and staff for their relentless efforts in reaching this conclusion. RID: 271142

Click to report rating    8/17/23   5     5     5     5     5   I can't express how grateful I am to Calvin and his incredible team for being on my side during a very difficult time. Top criminal law firm in Toronto. Hands down. RID: 266505
     3/14/23   1     1     1     1     1   Never have I met a bigger group of liars, crooks and thieves. I took them to court where they offered back half the monies I paid them. They did virtually no work; never returned calls or kept me up to date. In fact, they never even called the Crown or witnesses & worsened my situation exponentially. They agreed to have my papers purged within 120 days, and then months after the deadline, sent the info to the wrong police force. Before trial, the only meeting I had was with Calvin's wife, a landscaper. Have you ever heard of a lawyer going to trial without meeting you first to discuss the facts? Dave Burke showed up at trial after we only met once for mere minutes. Further meetings that were promised never happened. After trial, I was falsely told Dave Burke had retired so I couldn't even reach him on the phone. Run as fast as you can and as far away as you can from this swarthy group of creeps. Learn for yourself of Calvin's own charges & why he's no longer working for the Crown. RID: 264424

Calvin & his team saved my skin, I need my license for work & also my insurance was barely touched compared to what if the careless charge stood. Calvin was straight forward with me & described the how's and whats of how our case would proceed, no surprises. I have and will continue to REFER Calvin Barry for a lawyer as he did an amazing job for me. Thank you again Calvin ! RID: 197114

Click to report rating    1/14/18   5     5     5     5     5   Calvin and his staff are an amazing firm to hire if you're looking for the best criminal defence out there. I was pulled over and charged with dangerous driving, blow over 80, and stunt driving. Calvin was able to get the blow over 80 and stunt driving thrown out, and he got me an absolute discharge on my dangerous driving offence. Overall, I received no criminal conviction, and no criminal record. I learned my lesson from this experience and Calvin used his advanced advocacy skills to ensure that my whole future wasn't ruined by this mistake. His court room charisma is extremely persuasive. But more than that, he believed in me and he convinced the Crown and Judge to believe in me as well. Calvin is straight up, and he fights for his clients. He's the real deal when it comes to his knowledge of criminal law and litigation. And if you think he's pricey, think again. You get what you pay for and Calvin's services are worth every penny. You can't put a price on the results he gets. RID: 194840

 6/9/16   5     5     5     5     5   I had the pleasure of working with Calvin Barry and his associates over last year for my case, and time and time again he always went above and beyond the call of duty. Whenever I had to go into the court room, his staff made me feel very confident in their ability to perform the task at hand and knowledge of the specific area I was involved with. With regards to communication whenever I messaged Calvin, I would get a response within minutes, communication was always clear, his tenacity was more than a stress reliever, the work quality and value was unparalleled. Overall 5/5 experience, thankful I decided to go with Calvin. RID: 170320

 5/11/16   5     5     5     5     5   I want to preface this by saying i have no prior convictions and before a few months ago, I had never been in trouble with the law. I made the mistake of driving after having one too many libations, was pulled over and charged with impaired driving. One of my good friends who also had this issue, referred me to Calvin Barry, who successfully dealt with his charges. Mr. Barry was able to interview me the day after I was released. He explained all the possible defences to my charge. I was delightfully surprised to see how many cases he had defended in the past. The walls of his boardroom are covered in newspaper clippings detailing his high profile career. He handled my case with extreme professionalism, and was able to reduce the immense amount of stress I was facing. I never had to go to court, I never missed work, and he always replied to my calls and emails within the same day. I would highly recommend Mr. Barry for all criminal matters. Go Raptors! RID: 169086

 12/10/14   1     1     1     1     1   We hired CB after reading on his website that he was the best. What a JOKE and POOR EXCUSE of an attorney. Same story, told us we had a pretty high chance for a WIN, got our $7500.00, he never showed up at court, didn't properly keep us up to date on the case (would often call a day or 2 before having to be IN the court room to tell us the date was set, Thanks for the heads up)Then on trial date had his monkey he sent inform us that there was NO WAY we could win, to plead guilty and get an interlock in 6 months. GEE THANKS! Trial was one year after the incident. Had my fiancée just plead guilty from the get go he would have his licence back now and would have saved us a ton of money... Instead, he is only 2 months in to his 1 yr suspension, we are in debt to my father in law, and now have to pay for an interlock. One side note, CB tried charging us 250 for a "expert" I never seen an "expert" we refused to pay... THIS GUY IS A SCAM AND ALL OF THE REVIEWS ARE 110% ACCURATE RID: 147443

     5/11/13   3     2     1     1     1   I hired him and he didnt even show up fpr my trial. I ended up losing the case. Lost my licence and got a criminal record. I do not recommend this lawyer. He doesn't return calls and seems be too busy to care about his clients. RID: 111759

 1/15/13   3     1     1     1     1   I definitely would NOT recommend Calvin Barry as a choice for any legal services. He's out for your money and he'll say otherwise. DON'T believe in him. At first, the consultations are with him. Later he just ends up handing it off to someone else within his firm, even though you pay for his representation. When the big day came, I had someone from his firm represent me with NO MATERIALS to support my case. They knew my case had a little to NO chance right from the start. This was something they could of but didn't mention when they received my disclosure/evidence. They didn't put up a real proper fight for my case knowing and even emphasizing the IMPORTANCE of my case. He just talks fancy. Unfortunately I didn't listen to what I was told about him and to NOT let him represent me. This whole process only costed me. Wasting a ton of money, time & effort. Ultimately, I would have been better off just walking in myself and pleaing guilty. DON'T USE CALVIN BARRY. YOU'LL REGRET IT. RID: 98479
     10/30/12   5     5     5     5     5   Very well versed on the law. Issues we're rectified immediately and properly. A genuine Class Act. RID: 94140
     9/27/12   1     1     1     1     1   Mr. Calvin Barry is far away from being a lawyer. My life is miserable for the next 3 years because he could not represent my case as a professional lawyer. He also did not show up at the court house but sent an agent to work on behalf of him. Not worth to spend a penny on him. he thinks he is something but he really dose not even know the law. RID: 92227
     4/27/11   1     1     1     1     2   Do NOT hold for anyone in this firm for counsel, please. After a year of simple adjournments I was left with nothing in the way of defense for a DUI, even though I had no previous criminal record, and breathalyser readings barely cracking the .08 readings. DUI,currently (2011-03) is an almost infallible charge, unconstitutional, I beleive. For what it's worth, I paid 7 thousand for counsel that was very, very timid in a trial setting. In the end, I received the same as I would have if I had simple plead guilty. (minus the 7 grand, which I have a hard time believing went to true billing). Good luck. The law has made criminals out of responsible people while the real offenders will always, ALWAYS be out there. RID: 44855
