AUGUSTINE'S STORY

our legacy

HISTORY OF THE FIRM

Hi, I'm augustine.

Augustine Emily Krawchenko
Lawyer, CEO, Owner 

The passion for practicing law runs deep in my blood. Krawchenko Law was founded by my father, a successful lawyer and now judge. I practically grew up at Krawchenko Law. I learned how to run the family business, working for my father as his receptionist, assistant, and ultimately as his associate. I have always loved to travel and explore the world, and gained an appreciation for overseas destinations while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces (Navy). I loved the sense of adventure so much that I packed up and moved across the world to study at an international law school in Leicester, England. After graduating and returning to Hamilton to join my father’s firm, it is my privilege to now lead Krawchenko Law, upholding our long-standing commitment to assisting our clients’ needs while offering them an experience that is truly memorable. Krawchenko Law is rooted in providing good old fashioned hard work along with genuine care and compassion — all to make our clients’ lives a little more pleasant.
