About Hogarth Hermiston Severs LLP

Hogarth Hermiston Severs LLP is a multi-service law firm headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, with a second office in Amherstburg. Thomas Hogarth, Deborah Severs, and Terry Hermiston founded the firm in 2004, and it has since grown to six partners with the addition of Hillery Guttman, Georgette Makhoul, and Ashley Harmon. The firm practices personal injury, family law, corporate commercial law, civil litigation, real estate, and estate planning and probate, working through negotiation, mediation, or litigation depending on what each matter requires.

Hogarth was called to the Ontario bar in 1980 after earning a law degree from the University of Windsor, later adding a Bachelor of Commerce and an MBA from the same school. Severs and Hermiston followed in 1986 and 1993. The firm's personal injury lawyers describe over 45 years of combined experience and take those cases on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay no fees until money is recovered on their behalf. Its Windsor office sits in a 1920 building originally constructed as a Christian Science Church, now listed on the city's Municipal Heritage Register.
