Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Barrie courthouse?
Most Barrie criminal cases are heard at the Barrie Courthouse at 75 Mulcaster Street, Barrie, ON L4M 3P2. Both Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice matters are heard at this building.
What should I do if I have been charged by the OPP or Barrie Police Service?
Do not speak to police beyond identifying yourself. Anything you say can be used against you at trial. Retain a criminal defence lawyer before your first appearance.
Does Daniel Brown Law represent clients at Barrie court?
Yes. The lawyers at Daniel Brown Law travel to the Barrie courthouse for impaired driving, assault, domestic assault, sexual offences, weapons charges, drug offences, fraud, and homicide cases across Simcoe County.
Does having a lawyer at a bail hearing in Barrie matter?
It often makes the difference between release and detention. Many Barrie bail hearings involve OPP investigations where the disclosure record is technical, and counsel familiar with reading those packages quickly can shape the release plan.
What happens at a first appearance in Barrie?
Nothing is decided at a first appearance. The court confirms you have counsel and sets the next date so disclosure can be reviewed. Your lawyer can appear on your behalf so you do not need to travel to Barrie in person.
