Virtual appointmentsScarfone Hawkins LLP is a full service law firm headquartered on the 14th floor of 1 James Street South in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. James A. Scarfone founded the practice in 1975 and was called to the Ontario Bar that same year, holding a B.A. from the University of Western Ontario (King's College, 1970) and an LL.B. from the University of Windsor (1973). Donald B. Hawkins later joined as the firm's other namesake and practiced law for more than 40 years before retiring; Scarfone remains with the firm as Counsel, working as a trained mediator on personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability files.
The firm practices across many areas of law, spanning corporate and commercial transactions, real estate development, civil and commercial litigation, employment and labour law, family law, wills and estates, and intellectual property, along with newer fields like information technology and e-commerce law. It has also built an art collection over more than 40 years, buying work from students and faculty at the Dundas Valley School of Art and sponsoring the school's annual auction fundraiser. In 2025, marking its 50th year in Hamilton, the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce presented Scarfone Hawkins with its Outstanding Business Achievement Award in the large business category, and Best Lawyers in Canada recognized six of the firm's lawyers across multiple practice areas.
