About Tarnowecky Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Tarnowecky Law is a family run firm that has served Kingston and the surrounding area for more than 50 years. Yuri Tarnowecky earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Guelph and a law degree from Queen's University, was called to the Ontario Bar in 1975, and has practised law in Kingston for more than 50 years, having moved to the city in 1969. What began as a solo practice has grown into a team of six lawyers, including Ivanna Tarnowecky, Brad Fochesato, Scott Raycroft-Wright, Kevin Kiss, and Wilson Derbyshire, several of whom trained at Queen's University's own law school.

The firm concentrates on two areas: residential and commercial real estate, covering purchases, sales, refinancing, and title transfers, and wills, powers of attorney, and estate administration. A dedicated team of senior law clerks works alongside the firm's lawyers on real estate files, and closing documents can be signed in person or virtually over Zoom or DocuSign. Outside the office, Yuri Tarnowecky has a long record of civic and community involvement in Kingston, including three terms as Alderman and service as Deputy Mayor.
