Hamilton Courthouses

John Sopinka Courthouse

The Hamilton courts are located in the downtown core off of Main Street East. If you are charged in Hamilton, your court appearances will likely be in Hamilton. There are a number of court services in the building. If you hire a criminal lawyer, they will likely attend court on your behalf. Family law-related matters are done in a separate courthouse as seen below. The John Sopinka Courthouse is also home to the Small Claims Court, which is for civil disputes. Daily court lists are posted each day. These daily court lists can also be found online. At the John Sopinka Courthouse, you will find the Ontario Court of Justice (or referred to as OCJ) as well as the Superior Court of Justice (which is referred to as the SCJ). The Ministry of the Attorney General is located in Toronto.

It is very important that you do not miss a court date. You should contact an experienced Hamilton Lawyer to ensure you know exactly where to attend for court and what is required of you. Missing a court appearance can even result in jail, so be on the safe side, and be extra prepared and organized, keeping track of all of your court dates. By hiring a reputable criminal lawyer, they should ensure your rights are protected. At the Bernstein Law Group, we do so by providing very skillful and meticulous legal services.
