About A. John Hodgins Barrister
A. John Hodgins Barrister is a sole practitioner law office at 677 Brown's Line in Etobicoke, in Toronto's west end. John Hodgins graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in April 1983, was called to the Ontario bar in April 1985, and opened this independent practice in January 1990. The firm has worked from the same Etobicoke office ever since, handling family law, wills and estates, powers of attorney, and residential real estate.
Family law makes up a large part of the practice, covering separations and divorce, custody and access, child and spousal support, division of property, and marriage and cohabitation agreements. On the estates side, the firm prepares wills along with powers of attorney and living wills. The real estate work runs from reviewing an offer to purchase through to closing on a house, duplex, condominium, or cottage. Hodgins belongs to the Peel Law Association, and in-home and after-hours appointments are available by request.

The neighbourhood
The office is on Brown's Line, in the Alderwood area of Etobicoke. According to the Etobicoke Historical Society, Joseph Brown emigrated from Yorkshire, England in 1831 and became the first permanent settler in the area, farming land on the west side of Brown's Line between Evans and North Queen. The neighbourhood grew up as a residential district after the First World War, which fits a small practice built around one lawyer and long-time local clients rather than a downtown office tower.
