About Tierney Stauffer LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Tierney Stauffer LLP is a full service law firm based in Ottawa, with additional offices in Cornwall and Kingston and a remote practice serving North Bay. The firm's roots go back to 1982, when Stephen Tierney opened a law practice in Ottawa. Frank Tierney joined in 1983 and Dana Tierney followed in 1986. Ian Stauffer, a former classmate of Frank's, joined the Tierney brothers in 1989, and the firm took its present name. More than four decades later, it's still headquartered in the same part of Ottawa and has grown into a practice serving four Eastern Ontario communities.

The firm handles business, real estate, employment, construction, family, and wills and estates matters, alongside a personal injury practice that covers motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and nursing home negligence, among other claims. Ian Stauffer, now retired from active practice, is a Certified Specialist in Civil Litigation and a Chartered Mediator who spent 25 years presiding in Small Claims Court and continues in that role today. The firm has been recognized in the Best Lawyers in Canada and Best Law Firms rankings.
