About Hepburn Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Hepburn Law is a small criminal defence practice in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, run by criminal lawyer Kaley Hepburn. The firm has been practicing out of Hamilton for more than fifteen years, and it's served the community since 2010, taking on cases that range from assault, domestic assault, and theft to sexual assault, fraud, drug possession, and impaired driving, plus bail hearings and youth court matters. Hepburn worked at one of Hamilton's largest criminal defense firms before opening this practice, and now handles files personally from the bail hearing stage through to trial.

Before returning to private practice, Hepburn was appointed one of Ontario's youngest Justices of the Peace, sitting in Brampton and presiding over bail hearings and provincial offences trials. Hepburn belongs to eight legal associations and panels, among them the Hamilton Criminal Lawyers' Association, the Criminal Lawyers' Association of Ontario, the Hamilton Pro Bono Project, and the Legal Aid Gladue and Mental Health panels. The Hamilton Spectator profiled the practice in a 2012 feature on young professionals, and the firm's client base now reaches beyond Hamilton into Burlington, Oakville, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, and Brantford.
