About Charles Wrock and Associates

Charles Wrock and Associates is a general practice law firm based in Barrie, Ontario, led by Charles Wrock (BSc, LLB). The firm's site cites more than 60 years of combined practice and lists 42 years of experience on its homepage. It takes on criminal defence, real estate transactions, wills and estates, commercial law, and personal matters including family, employment, and elder law. Clients come from across southern Ontario, and the firm frames its work specifically around the Lake Simcoe region.

For criminal cases, the firm sets out a plain starting point: the Crown carries the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, within the rules of evidence, and a client stays innocent until that burden is met. On choosing a lawyer generally, the firm points clients to four practical questions, comfort discussing the matter with the lawyer, relevant credentials and experience, a convenient location, and value for the fee charged, noting that quality advice tends to cost less in the long run than the alternative. The firm works by appointment only from its King Street office and does not record personal data through its website.
