Ever since I can remember, my underlying passion has been in helping others. I began my professional path after graduating with a Nursing Degree from the University of Ottawa. For the next nine years, I was challenged and rewarded daily with a career as a intensive care and neo-natal intensive care nurse.

Eventually, I decided to pursue a dream that had long been on the back-burner of my mind and attend law school. I was accepted to Queen’s University in Kingston and was called to the bar in 1994. Since then, I’ve never glanced back.

When I was ready to launch my own practice, I consciously chose Cobourg, Ontario. I had fallen in love with its small town charm and stunning lakeside scenery. It was important to me to achieve a balance between my professional and personal life, and this lovely community offered the best of both worlds. I’m proud to have called the beautiful town of Cobourg my home for over the past twenty years, and it has been a great pleasure serving its wonderful people.”

Giving back has always been an incredibly important value to Ember. She felt fortunate to have became a lawyer and serve people -- she saw it as her "little way of contributing to the community and helping those that need it". Throughout her entire career, she remained committed to serving all people by consciously choosing to participate in EAP programs as well as accepting UNIFOR and Legal Aid Certificates. 

From the beginning of her career right until the end, Ms. Hamilton never lost sight of how difficult a particular situation can be to have caused an individual to seek legal advice. Helping people get through a tough period of their lives was her service priority, and now it's ours.
