About Sheppard & Gervais Law Office

Sheppard & Gervais is a general practice law firm in Pembroke, Ontario, the county seat of Renfrew County in the Ottawa Valley. The office traces back to the 1960s, when it operated as McCann and Sheppard before its lawyers built it into the firm it is today. Robert Sheppard and Ronald Gervais, whose names the firm now carries, have each spent decades practicing from the same address on Pembroke Street East, and a third lawyer joined more recently after being called to the Ontario bar in 2024.

The firm's work centers on real estate, wills and estates, corporate and commercial matters, and general litigation, and its lawyers also act as notaries public and commissioners of oaths. Its real estate lawyers report over fifty years of combined experience, and the practice is approved under the federal Integrated Relocation Program and Brookfield Global Relocation Services, so Sheppard & Gervais regularly handles home purchases and sales for military families posted in and out of the area. On the litigation side, the firm takes on everything from commercial disputes to personal injury claims from motor vehicle accidents and slip and falls, and it helps clients with Canada Pension Plan Disability and Ontario Disability Support Program appeals.
