About Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP

Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP is a full service law firm based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, with roots that go back to 1887. The firm has practiced continuously in the city for more than 130 years and says its longevity is why other lawyers in the region often consult it on complex files. It describes its structure as a team based approach that pairs lawyers with experienced law clerks, aiming for the resources of a larger practice alongside more personal attention. The current partners and associates practice corporate and commercial law, real estate law, estate planning and administration, personal injury, civil litigation, family law, insurance claims, and immigration law.

The firm offers a free initial consultation for personal injury claims and takes on most of those files on a contingency basis. German and Italian are spoken among its lawyers and staff. Its practice group has grown to include recent calls to the bar alongside partners who have practiced in Niagara Falls for decades, and the firm relocated within the city to its current Morrison Street offices.
