Client Reviews

Our clients praise us for our outstanding results, personable service and expert knowledge. Here are a couple of things some of them had to say:

A huge thank you to Calvin, Jeremy and everyone who helped me. There were rocky parts of the process due to the stress of the case on myself, but the team got me through the rough parts. There was so much going through my mind simultaneously throughout. I thought we were going to trial, but the team was confident and did an amazing job. I was absolutely amazed by the conclusion. I am forever in debt and grateful for your work. Super happy to get a second chance.

A big thank you to Calvin and his team. Jeremy Naresh was available most times that I called. He would respond by phone or email and kept us updated. The process was longer than expected due to Covid and as a family we were prepared for a whole set of scenarios. Maybe a fine, maybe something worse. For us to have come out of this with no charges, no fines, no points, is absolutely amazing. The professionalism and expertise that this firm has was second to none. Thank you so much.

I am very happy with the outcome of my case. I was charged with some very serious offences and I'm happy that I don't have to go to trial and I got an outcome I never thought I could get. Also, the whole staff from Calvin, Jeremy, Ahmad and Rupin were great in terms of helping me with my issues. From the law side to the personal side of things, they helped me tremendously.

I really appreciate all the help and swift responses from Jeremy and the entire team; Everything was looked after professionally. This is one thing I've never dealt with before and hopefully never again. When it first happened I didn't even know where to start, but Calvin came highly recommended from a friend. I got the best possible outcome for my case and I appreciate all the hard work. I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone in a similar situation. Also, don't take this the wrong way, but I hope I never have to talk to you again! Lesson learned!

I am very happy with the outcome. It could have been a lot worse without the knowledge and experience of Jeremy Naresh. Jeremy guided me through everything and provided me the guidance to allow me to make informative decisions with my case. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

I am very happy I went with Calvin Barry’s law firm. I was charged with over .80 Rohit was able to get the charge dropped. Sohrob was a big help in keeping me updated on the case also. Hopefully I’ll never need a lawyer again but if I do I won’t go anywhere else but here.
Thank you!
Tyler Drumm
I want to personally thank you for all your help with my DUI charge from September 2021. At the time I was charged with impaired and had readings of just over 300. It was a scary time for me and the help, professionalism and kind nature of you and your office staff helped me through this difficult journey. I am truly appreciative I have been conditionally discharged with dangerous driving and not something more serious. Thank you again for all your help.

I was caught drinking and driving 3 years ago. I am a licensed financial professional and would lose my job if I got convicted. I started out with a cheapo lawyer and realized he wasn’t there to win, only to collect more fees. I fired him and got Calvin to take over my case at the last minute. He showed up in court, got the case delayed and over 3 years grinded them down and got me off, no criminal record, finger prints and photos destroyed. If you want to win, Calvin is your man.
