About RBHF Professional Corporation

RBHF Professional Corporation, also known as Ryder-Burbidge Hurley Foster, is a full service law firm in Kingston, Ontario, founded in 1988. Its three lawyers serve individuals, families and businesses across Kingston and Eastern Ontario in wills and estate planning, estate administration and litigation, civil litigation, real estate, corporate and commercial law, family law, health law, employment law, and landlord and tenant matters. On the business side, the firm has said it represents roughly 150 corporate clients, from small retail businesses to larger, multi-faceted companies.

The firm's two founders are now retired. One, known by the initials JRB, practiced law in Toronto from 1986 to 1997 before relocating to Kingston that year to concentrate on civil litigation across every level of court, up to the Supreme Court of Canada. The other, David R. Hurley, graduated from law school in 1977 and began a general law practice in Kingston. Today's team includes a lawyer who is a Registered Trust and Estate Practitioner, having completed the STEP Canada Diploma Program, and who worked as legal counsel for a Toronto mental health institution before returning to practice in Kingston.
