About Frankel Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Frankel Law is a sole proprietorship in downtown Hamilton run by Stephan M. Frankel, who set up the practice in the city in 1979 after finishing law school at Queen's University in Kingston. Frankel was born and raised in Hamilton and returned home to start the firm, which has operated with the help of junior lawyers and associates ever since. The work covers real estate law, corporate and commercial law, wills and estates, personal injury, and criminal law, a mix that has stayed largely the same since the firm began.

One detail sets the real estate side apart. Frankel's father was a new home builder in Hamilton and the surrounding area for well over 50 years, and time spent on job sites gave Frankel a practical, inside view of construction before ever practicing real estate law. The firm has gone on to represent thousands of vendors and purchasers on residential, commercial, and multi-unit deals, and it currently acts for several local builders. Personal injury files are handled on a contingency basis, so a client pays no legal fee unless money is recovered. The firm's own site describes its reach as extending across Hamilton and into Burlington, Stoney Creek, St. Catharines, and Oakville.
