In his private practice, Mr. Barry has defended high profile fraud cases, drug-related matters, assault, theft, manslaughter and murder charges. Mr. Barry has been particularly successful in defending a large number of drinking and driving charges, such as impaired driving, over 80 mg of alcohol in the blood and failure to blow. Mr. Barry is currently a member of the Criminal Lawyers Association. He is a past director of the board of the Ontario Crown Attorney’s Association (1990-2000), and , in particular, worked as Treasurer of the Association (1994-95) and as a member of the Association’s Finance Committee (1996-97). He has also served as a member of the Toronto Mayor’s Task Force on Drugs (1995-98); a director of the Board of Directors of Variety Village; and a director of the Osgoode Hall Alumni Association.
Calvin is a well-known defence lawyer in Toronto for a reason. He knows all of the possible defences you can use in your particular case and which ones will likely be successful in winning your impaired driving case. In fact, Calvin Barry has restricted his entire legal practice to criminal defence matters which means he will not practice in other disciplines of law such as personal injury, real estate, corporate, etc. From your initial free meeting, Calvin will look at your case, review what happened on the day you were charged with impaired driving and explain all of the possible defences that may be used to win your case.

Impaired driving or DUI refers to criminal charges of operating a vehicle while impaired from alcohol or drugs, driving over 0.08 and refusing to provide a sample of breath. These charges have serious consequences including significant fines, skyrocketing insurance, incarceration and a criminal record that can impact future travel and employment. When you are charged with a DUI, you will immediately lose your driver’s license for 90 days.
IMPAIRED DRIVING/
DUI CHARGES
DRUG POSSESSION
There is a significant difference in sentencing for possession offences depending on the Schedule in which the substance is registered and the quantity seized. The quantity seized is generally minor to qualify for a possession offence. The greater the quantity, the greater the likelihood that the individual will be charged with drug trafficking rather than simple possession.
SEXUAL OFFENCES
Sexual offences are incredibly complex and encompass many different charges under the Criminal Code. They are some of the most difficult offences to defend and require a lawyer with significant experience to help you navigate the criminal justice system.
CRIMINAL DEFENCE
You’ve been arrested or charged with a crime. You’re scared, overwhelmed and uncertain. You want to stay out of jail and avoid other short-term and long-term consequences. Now what? Even if you haven’t been arrested and are only a suspect, consult a skilled criminal defence lawyer immediately. The right lawyer can make all the difference in mounting an effective defence strategy.
FIREARMS CRIMES
Possessing a firearm in Canada is a heavily regulated activity, with the regulations primarily set out in the Criminal Code and Firearms Act. There are many firearms offences, most of which carry significant punishments if convicted including lengthy periods of incarceration.
Assault is the intentional application of force to another person without their consent. Domestic assault is no different than an assault generally, except it happens in the context of a relationship such as marriage or dating. Although not classified differently in the Criminal Code, domestic assault has different implications for bail conditions and sentencing.
DOMESTIC ASSAULT
FRAUD
Fraud is a very broad criminal offence that ranges from altering a price tag to multi-million dollar Ponzi schemes. While the charge is very similar to theft, fraud requires deceit or falsehood. Depending on the monetary value of the fraud, an accused may be charged with fraud under $5,000 or fraud over $5,000. The elements of the two offences are the same, but the punishments are drastically different. A fraud conviction can result in sentences ranging from discharges to significant periods of incarceration.
Theft is defined generally as taking another’s property without lawful authority to do so. Depending on the monetary value of the theft, an accused may be charged with theft under $5,000 or theft over $5,000. The elements of the two offences are the same, but the punishments are drastically different. A theft conviction can result in sentences ranging from discharges to significant periods of incarceration.
