When first set up shop in the Comox Valley in 2020, it wasn’t with flash or fanfare, it was with a handshake. A partnership with respected local lawyer Bob Bush anchored the firm’s presence, and for five years, that foundation served the community well. Now, with a move into a newly tailored space Hammerco isn’t just settling in. They're doubling down.
"This is home. We live here, raise our families here and we bump into our clients at the grocery store. That changes everything," says Managing Partner Morgyn Chandler.
While their reach extends beyond the Island, the firm’s focus in the Valley is deeply local, offering litigation services that put people first. Hammerco doesn’t do wills or contracts, and they don’t work for insurers. Instead, they represent individuals and small businesses in legal disputes that often come with stress, confusion and high stakes, such as estate battles, business disagreements or serious injuries.
What sets them apart isn’t just their legal know-how, it’s how they wield it. “Litigation has a reputation,” Chandler says. “People think of it as expensive, adversarial and drawn-out. But that’s not what we’re about. We’re about solving problems – efficiently and humanely.”
Their strategy? Open communication, fast action and a strong track record that proves they’ll go to court if needed, but only if it’s the best path forward.
Their new location, steps from the Courtenay courthouse and downtown core, reflects that same spirit: purpose-built, accessible and rooted in service. “This space lets us work smarter for our clients. It’s not about prestige – it’s about practicality.”
And while the courtroom is their professional arena, their approach is grounded in everyday realities. “Most people don’t want to go to court, they just want to move forward,” Chandler says. “We’re here to help them do exactly that, without the drama or delay. We know the law is complicated, but your experience with us won’t be.””
With a fresh office and the same commitment to community, is proving that legal advocacy doesn’t need a skyline view, it just needs local heart and a sharp mind.
