About Martin M. Herman Professional Corporation

Martin M. Herman Professional Corporation is a sole practitioner law office in Richmond Hill, Ontario, operating out of the Hillcrest Mall on Yonge Street. Herman focuses on criminal defence, representing people charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and other federal statutes, including the Tax Act and the Customs Act. An archived 2017 version of the firm's site said Herman had practiced from the same Richmond Hill location for more than 35 years, with a caseload that mostly runs to impaired driving, domestic assault, and drug charges, though Herman has also defended cases ranging from shoplifting to murder and represented clients as far away as New York City and New Brunswick.

The practice isn't limited to criminal law. Herman also prepares wills and powers of attorney, handles residential purchases and sales of homes and cottages, and offers notary public and Commissioner of Oath services. Herman is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Law Society of Ontario), the York Region Law Association, and the Criminal Lawyers' Association. Most of the firm's court appearances happen at the Newmarket Courthouse, which handles criminal matters for York Region, and the same archived biography said more than 70 percent of the firm's business is heard there.
