About FDH Lawyers
FDH Lawyers is the trading name of Feltmate Delibato Heagle LLP, a general practice law firm based in Burlington, Ontario. The name comes from three founding partners, Miles Feltmate, Fulvio J. Delibato, and Brian Heagle, who now appear among the firm's retired lawyers. FDH Lawyers has been operating in Burlington since 1997, and its office at 3600 Billings Court is currently home to ten lawyers working in business law, employment law, litigation, land development, residential and commercial real estate, family law, wills and estates, and transportation law.
Lawyers at the firm were called to the bar across several decades, from 1996 through 2021, and the team includes a litigation lawyer who works in French and Punjabi as well as English. Its transportation law group advises Ontario trucking and logistics businesses on carrier agreements, driver classification, and facility leasing, a service not every general practice firm in the region offers. FDH Lawyers describes its approach as explaining legal issues "in an uncomplicated and practical manner" and says it aims to build long-term relationships with clients rather than handle one-off files.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
FDH Lawyers' office is in Burlington, a city of about 187,000 people at the western end of Lake Ontario, sitting between Toronto and Hamilton in the Golden Horseshoe. Burlington's economy isn't built around one large employer; it draws on a mix of manufacturing, automotive, and other industries, which fits a firm whose work leans toward business law, commercial real estate, and land development alongside family law and wills for individual clients. The firm's managing partner has also been part of one of Burlington's longtime civic institutions, having served on the board and as president of the Sound of Music Festival, an annual event that ran at the city's Spencer Smith Park waterfront from 1980 to 2025.
