About Confente Garcea

Confente Garcea is a small firm in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, founded in 1994 by Andrew Confente and Sam Garcea. Both were called to the Ontario bar the same year and have practised together ever since, with Confente concentrating on criminal defence and Garcea covering family law, real estate, and wills. The firm's two lawyers split the work this way rather than each trying to cover everything.

Andrew Confente holds a B.A. (Honours) from McGill University and a law degree from the University of Windsor, and worked as a part-time prosecutor before moving into defence work. Confente's practice covers the Criminal Code, drug and federal offences, youth matters, and provincial charges, and Confente is a past president of the Hamilton Criminal Lawyers Association and a former director with the Ontario Criminal Lawyers Association. Sam Garcea studied at the University of Waterloo and the University of Manitoba before a law degree at Windsor, and represents parents in Children's Aid Society matters in addition to handling custody, support, real estate transactions, and wills and powers of attorney. Garcea also sits on Hamilton's Family Law Liaison Committee and the Legal Aid Area Committee.
