Free consultationAbout Mackesy Smye
Mackesy Smye is a Hamilton, Ontario law firm that has practiced for more than 75 years, with its office at 2 Haymarket Street in the downtown core. The firm's main focus is personal injury and insurance litigation, covering car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, accident benefits disputes, long term disability claims, and catastrophic injuries such as amputations. Mackesy Smye does not represent insurance companies, so its injury clients aren't sharing the firm with the insurers on the other side of their claims. Lawyers at the firm also practice real estate, business and corporate law, wills and estates, and commercial litigation.
The firm's lawyers bring more than 200 years of combined experience. Firm counsel David F. Smye, one of the firm's two namesakes, was called to the Ontario bar in 1972, appointed Queen's Counsel in 1985, and is a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation. In 2014 the Law Society of Upper Canada awarded Smye an honorary Doctor of Laws. Partner W. Patric Mackesy, the firm's other namesake, was called to the bar in 1971 and has practiced real estate, estate planning, and family law mediation for decades. Mackesy Smye offers free consultations and, for clients whose mobility is limited after an injury, will meet at home, in hospital, or another location.
