Services
For over 45 years, the law firm of Martin & Hillyer Associates has served the legal needs of Burlington and the entire Halton Region with distinction and dedication. Founded in 1972 by Robert Martin and Bruce Hillyer as a "small town" law firm in Downtown Burlington, Martin & Hillyer has grown over the decades alongside the community it serves.
Our team of lawyers are trained and experienced in a wide number of legal areas. Our team is trained and experienced in dealing with complex cases, including personal injury, corporate, and criminal cases. From fighting for compensation for accident victims to defending clients against serious criminal charges, we are committed to serving you with the best legal representation we can provide.
The Burlington lawyers at Martin & Hillyer Associates are experienced and skilled in car accident litigation and car insurance claims for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. We have over 45 years of experience helping car accident victims in Burlington, Halton and surrounding areas to maximize their successful recovery.
Most of our lawyers focus their practices on helping people recover compensation after they have been injured by the negligence of others. Understanding your personal recovery priorities in all three areas and helping you attain them can be difficult for large, out-of-town law firms and firms that are stretched across the province.
When you go to a health care facility, you expect that the people who work there will do their best to provide you with the highest quality of medical care. While the majority of doctors, nurses, and health care professionals go out of their way to make sure patients receive the best care possible, instances do arise where a medical professional may commit negligence that could put patients in harm's way.

I highly recommend Claire Wilkinson and her team! She represented me in a very professional manner. When ever I needed a clarification on something, Claire’s associate Erin would quickly respond with explanation. Thank you for successfully closing my file!

I had a terrible slip and fall because of black ice that shattered my ankle. The ankle had to be reconstructed with plates, screws etc. I spent a number of months rehabbing.
I reached out to Steve Abraham almost immediately after the accident. Steve was very thorough in explaining the process that one must go through to sue another party. The "process" took longer than I expected which was partially do to the COVID crisis but the results was better than I expected!
During the time it took to settle Steve and his assistant Branka Seggie kept me up to date and informed on what was going on and

Steve Abraham came to my home shortly after I had a slip/fall accident that resulted in a broken right femur bone close to the hip ( but too close to do an elegant hip replacement.) Instead, I had to go through painful broken leg recovery.
Steve was recommended to me by my financial advisor, who said he is the best. He is especially good if it has to go to trial.
Steve said I had a good case, and while it would take longer than expected to resolve, I agreed to go ahead. His assistant Tracey Luxon kept me up to speed on the (slow) developments, and Steve was always reachable.
After 4 years, they

After 2 years or more on a case they quit because their 'duty bound' about a comment made over a year ago. They were duty bound when it was first stated, not a year later.
No gumption for trial and attempts to mislead about "tax free" settlements. They tried to convince me its an after tax settlement. BS!!
Best going it alone.
Ohhh, claims $6000.00 in disbursements, but only has receipts for just over $600.00.
If you use them, best of luck and watch them closely.

Outstanding team of lawyers here, and their office is ACTUALLY situated in the Burlington area (unlike a few other Personal Injury Lawyers that appear to be in Burlington on google maps but are actually located in the GTA). Laura Hillyer was a pleasure to work with, and came highly recommended from a former neighbour of mine. After my initial consultation I felt confident that my case was in the right hands. Laura is extremely personable and intelligent, and handled my case with diligence and professionalism. She kept me well-informed each and every step of the way, and she took the time to ask

I was highly recommended by a friend to go see Ian Brisbin after I had been hit by a car on my bike 3 years ago, and I’m very glad I did! Ian was very personable and clearly explained the process we would be going through. He definitely had my best interests at heart. Ian cared about me as a person, and not as just another client. In the end my wife and I were very happy with the outcome, and I thank Ian again for his thoughtfulness and professionalism.

Being an individual who considers lawyers among the ranks of snake oil and used car salesmen {Better call Saul} , Stephen Abraham and his Team have vastly changed my opinion. From the moment I met Stephen and his wonderful staff I felt an unusually comfortable ease in dealing with him. Not only did he make me feel comfortable from our first meeting until the case was resolved, but he kept me abreast of what was happening during the long drawn out process. Stephen and staff were totally professional and I have never felt that someone had my best interests like they did. I would highly recommend

I hired Laura Hillyer a few years ago after I was involved in a bad car accident. After meeting with her I knew that I was great hands. I could instantly tell she cared and would have my best interest at heart. Laura and her team went above and beyond anything I was expecting. I would highly recommend you take a good look at Laura and her firm.
