About Krawchenko Law

Krawchenko Law, operating as A.E. Krawchenko Professional Corporation, is a Hamilton, Ontario law firm at 244 Ottawa St. North. John Krawchenko founded the practice in 1990, and it has operated in Hamilton for more than three decades since. The firm keeps its practice narrow: wills, powers of attorney, estate administration, residential real estate, and notary and commissioner of oaths services. It doesn't take on family law, corporate law, tax law, estate litigation, criminal law, or legal aid work. In December 2020, John Krawchenko was appointed a judge of the Superior Court of Ontario, and Augustine Emily Krawchenko now leads the firm as lawyer, CEO, and owner.

Augustine grew up at the firm, working there as a receptionist, an assistant, and eventually an associate before taking it over. Augustine holds a combined honours degree from McMaster University and a law degree from the University of Leicester in England, and is a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy. The office also holds historical wills and powers of attorney files for the past clients of several Hamilton lawyers who came before it, including Joseph T. Kostyk, Michael Lypka, Fedak and Fedak Law, and Jim Cimba, and its legal clerks bring more than 35 years of combined experience to the practice.
