About Crannie Law

Crannie Law is a family-run personal injury and insurance law firm with its office in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, at 1 King Street West. Allison E. Crannie founded the firm in 2020, after practicing insurance defence law since 2003 and working as in-house counsel for major global insurers. Jeffery R. Crannie, called to the Ontario bar in 2002, continues a personal injury practice that Gerald A. Swaye, Q.C. built after starting a firm in 1982. Crannie Law and its predecessor firms have represented accident and injury victims in the Hamilton area for almost 60 years.

The firm handles motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall cases, and claims involving denied long-term disability, insurance, or other benefits, and it takes most of this work on a contingency fee basis. Swaye no longer practices day to day but advises and mentors the team. Peers have named Swaye to The Best Lawyers in Canada since 2011, in insurance law, personal injury litigation, and product liability law; Swaye also served as a bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada beginning in 1995. Crannie Law says its lawyers stay on a client file from start to finish, and it will meet clients at home, in hospital, or at another location when they can't get to the office downtown.
