At Fedorowicz Law, we understand the life-changing consequences of a criminal accusation. Whether you’re facing your first charge or navigating repeat allegations, our criminal defence lawyer is committed to protecting your future. With a deep understanding of the law and a focus on ethical, aggressive advocacy, Richard Fedorowicz builds legal strategies tailored to your circumstances. Every defence is approached with integrity, precision, and care.
We defend clients facing a wide range of criminal allegations in Barrie. Whether the case involves impaired driving, violent crime, or white-collar charges, Fedorowicz Law delivers focused legal representation grounded in knowledge of both Ontario law and constitutional protections. Our service covers assault and violent offences, drug possession and trafficking, DUI and impaired driving cases, sexual offence allegations, theft, fraud, and financial crimes, and firearms and weapons charges.
Assault charges can result from physical altercations, threats, or domestic disputes. Fedorowicz Law handles common assault, aggravated assault, and assault causing bodily harm. Defences often include self-defence, lack of intent, or mistaken identity. We scrutinize police conduct and witness credibility to expose reasonable doubt, working to prevent a lasting criminal record or incarceration.
Whether facing possession, trafficking, or production charges, drug offences carry significant penalties. Our firm defends cases involving cocaine, fentanyl, cannabis, and prescription drugs. We regularly challenge search warrants under Section 8 of the Charter, ensuring that evidence obtained through illegal searches is excluded. Fedorowicz Law uses precise legal motions and constitutional protections to challenge the Crown’s case.
As an experienced DUI lawyer, Richard Fedorowicz defends impaired driving, over 80, and refusal to comply charges. These cases often hinge on procedural errors or improper roadside stops. Section 10(b) of the Charter guarantees your right to legal counsel — if violated, breath sample results may be inadmissible. We review every police action and advocate for dismissals or reduced penalties wherever possible.
Allegations of sexual assault demand sensitive handling and a strong defence strategy. These cases often involve credibility assessments and lack physical evidence. We protect your right to remain silent and challenge evidence obtained unlawfully. Fedorowicz Law has extensive experience defending bail hearings in sexual offence cases and provides respectful, confidential representation throughout.
Charges involving deception or financial misconduct are often complex. We defend clients against fraud and financial crimes such as wire fraud, embezzlement, or forgery, identity theft, and misappropriation of funds. We review financial records, challenge disclosure of evidence, and pursue charge withdrawals or not guilty verdicts where legal grounds exist.
Firearms charges often trigger mandatory minimums and long-term consequences. Fedorowicz Law handles cases involving unlawful possession, unauthorized use, and unsafe storage under the Canadian Firearms Act. We examine whether police acted lawfully under Section 9 of the Charter and raise pre-trial motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence.
Understanding the criminal trial process is essential. We guide you from arrest through trial or appeal, ensuring you know your rights and legal options at each step.
After an arrest, securing bail is often the first priority. Our legal team acts quickly to represent you at your bail hearing, arguing for release with appropriate conditions. A strong early defence can prevent prolonged custody.
The Crown must provide disclosure of evidence, which we examine for errors, inconsistencies, or violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This phase sets the groundwork for pre-trial motions and strategic defences.
We often raise motions under Section 8, Section 9, and Section 10(b) of the Charter to exclude illegally obtained evidence. These motions are critical in weakening the prosecution’s case and can lead to a case dismissal.
We prepare thoroughly for trial, seeking not guilty verdicts or reduced charges. If convicted, we advocate for fair sentencing and, if necessary, act as your appeal lawyer, pursuing relief on procedural or legal errors.

Read MoreThe Charter protects key rights during criminal investigations. If you’re arrested, you have:
The right to remain silent
The right to counsel (Section 10(b))
Protection from unreasonable search and seizure (Section 8)
Freedom from arbitrary detention (Section 9)
The right to a trial within a reasonable time (Section 11(b))
Fedorowicz Law uses these provisions to challenge evidence, seek charge withdrawals, and defend your freedom. If you’re unsure what to do when stopped by police, reach out for immediate guidance.
Fedorowicz Law offers experienced legal representation built on trust, results, and constitutional expertise.
Richard Fedorowicz has tried criminal cases across Ontario’s courts, from Barrie to Toronto. His practice focuses on indictable offences including violent crime, drug trafficking, and complex fraud. With hundreds of courtroom appearances, he brings confidence and insight to every case.
Our defence strategies rely on the Charter to expose police overreach. If your rights were violated — during a roadside stop, search, or arrest — we file motions to exclude evidence. This has resulted in withdrawn charges and acquittals in numerous cases.
We support clients at every stage — arrest, bail hearing, disclosure, trial, and sentencing. At each step, we develop defences based on the facts and legal precedents. Whether negotiating with the Crown prosecutor or challenging delay under Section 11(b), we focus on results.
Fedorowicz Law has helped clients avoid a criminal record through dismissals, diversions, and charge withdrawals. We’ve secured favourable outcomes in cases involving sexual assault, drug offences, impaired driving, and more. Our strategies often hinge on procedural flaws, unreasonable delays, or weak evidence.
