About Gatestone Law

Gatestone Law operates as Philip Kuca Professional Corporation from two offices on Main Street in Hamilton, Ontario. The Main Street West office is in the BDC Building, a 22 story tower at the corner of Main Street West and MacNab Street South that opened in 1971 as the IBM Building before taking the name of the Business Development Bank of Canada. From there, principal Philip Anthony Kuca and associate Patrick Przemyslaw Maziarz handle real estate and banking transactions, estate planning, and corporate and commercial law. Kuca is a Hamilton native who was called to the Ontario bar in 2008 after a law degree from the University of Western Ontario, and Maziarz, also Hamilton born, joined the bar in 2022 and speaks Polish fluently.

A second office at 105 Main Street East, in the Effort Square building near Commerce Place, is home to lawyers Girolamo (Gerry) Falletta and Julian Thomas along with paralegal Nilo Grabar. This office handles civil litigation, landlord representation in landlord and tenant matters, accident benefits claims, personal injury, and slip and fall cases, a different practice mix from the real estate and estate planning work handled on Main Street West. The Main Street West office is listed as a member of the Downtown Hamilton Business Improvement Area, and the firm meets clients by telephone, virtually, or in office by appointment.
