Hamon Law Office

About Hamon Law Office

Hamon Law Office is a sole family law practice based in Combermere, Ontario, in the Upper Ottawa Valley, run by Joseph Hamon. Hamon earned a law degree from the University of Ottawa in 1984 and was called to the Ontario bar in 1991, the year the Hamon Law Office practice opened. From 1993 to 2003, Hamon was the managing lawyer at an associate law practice on Somerset Street in Ottawa, then closed that office in 2004 to concentrate on family law full time from Combermere.

The practice centres on separation, divorce, custody and support, and collaborative family law, along with wills, powers of attorney, and estate administration. Hamon holds a Certified Specialist in Family Law designation from the Law Society of Ontario and a Certified Comprehensive Family Law Mediator credential through Family Mediation Canada; the firm's site describes this combination as unique among lawyers in Hastings or Renfrew County. Bar admission training was completed in the French-language section of the licensing course, and the firm offers services in English and French. The firm's site also describes a practice that's open to clients who'd like to bring their Christian faith into the legal process, such as prayer before meetings, while serving other clients on a purely secular basis.
