Our Story

Our Firm's History

Originally founded in the late 1800s, our firm has evolved alongside the town of St. Marys. Known locally as 'Waghorn Stephens,' we've been a cornerstone of legal guidance for over a century. Throughout changes in personnel and the law, our commitment has remained the same: clear, respectful, and responsive service to our clients.

Today, with a team of dedicated professionals, we continue to provide reliable legal support to individuals, families, and businesses across Perth, Oxford, Middlesex, and Huron County.

Our Approach

We're Lawyers Who Put People First

We pride ourselves on being approachable and honest. You won't find marble floors or high-rise offices here, just dedicated lawyers who care about helping people through meaningful life events.

Whether it's finalizing a home purchase or navigating a family matter, we take the time to explain your options and guide you with professionalism and warmth. We aim to be a firm where clients feel both respected and comfortable — a place you can walk into without an appointment and leave with peace of mind.

Community Involvement

Rooted in the Community

We live and work in the same neighborhoods as our clients — and we give back where we can. Our team is proud to support local institutions, organizations and events, including the Pyramid Center, the St. Marys Hospital Foundation, the Rotary Club, Canada World Youth, Children for Chernobyl, and the local library. Being involved isn't just something we do — it's part of who we are.
