Our Law Office
We Believe You. We Can Help.
For more than 50 years, the law office of Martin & Hillyer Associates has served the legal needs of Burlington and the Halton Region with distinction and dedication. Founded in 1972 by Robert Martin and Bruce Hillyer as a “small town” law office in Downtown Burlington, Martin & Hillyer has grown over the decades alongside the community it serves.
While both our office and our community have grown since our beginnings decades ago, our lawyers remain committed to providing the same personal and individualized service that only a local, community-oriented law office can offer. Get in touch with us today to find out how our experienced, knowledgeable and supportive approach can help.

The Martin & Hillyer Difference
LOCAL MEANS PERSONAL
Our lawyers are committed to providing their clients with the personal service that only a local, community-based law office can offer.
EXPERIENCE MEANS RESULTS
Our lawyers are seasoned litigators and negotiators who have the practical experience necessary to obtain the best possible results for their clients.
KNOWLEDGE MEANS POWER

SUPPORT MEANS RECOVERY
It's important to have a local law office that has familiarity and strong connections with local treatment and service providers.
Not All Heroes Wear Capes. Some Wear Suits.
Many of our lawyers focus their practices on different areas of plaintiff personal injury law. This includes cases related to motor vehicle collisions, falls and other personal injury claims, insurance and disability disputes, and sexual assault litigation.
All of our civil litigation lawyers are proud and active members of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA), a vital province-wide network of plaintiff lawyers promoting justice for injury victims. Bruce Hillyer was OTLA’s founding President, and Laura Hillyer is past Vice President of the organization.
Our lawyers are also active members of local bar associations in the Halton Region and in Hamilton, and have served as members, directors and leaders of a number of law associations locally, nationally, and internationally. This includes the Halton County Law Association, Hamilton Law Association, Advocates’ Society, and American Association for Justice.

We're Not Just Lawyers.
We're Your Neighbours.
Our office believes in giving back to our community. We are proud to support a number of excellent local organizations that serve our community, from business organizations like the Downtown Burlington Business Association, to charitable causes, hospitals and injury/rehabilitation support groups.
We are particularly proud to regularly sponsor and support the Brain Injury Association of Peel & Halton (BIAPH), Peel Halton Dufferin Acquired Brain Injury Services (PHDABIS), the Hamilton Brain Injury Association, the Hamilton General Hospital’s Legal Resource Room, and other excellent services and institutions that serve the local disability community.
