About Drake Law

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Drake Law is a multi-office firm with its head office in London, Ontario, at 256 Pall Mall Street. It practises family law, residential real estate, and wills and estates, and it handles estate administration. Beyond London, it keeps branch offices in Windsor, Sarnia, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, and Toronto, so its lawyers serve clients across Southwestern Ontario and the western Greater Toronto Area. English is the firm's main language of service, and its team includes lawyers who communicate in French, German, Spanish, Arabic, and Bulgarian, so you can flag a preferred language when you first get in touch.

The firm was founded by John C. Drake, who serves as its President and holds a BA and an LLB from Western University. Before building the practice, the founder worked as a litigator and spent years in business, including private equity and self-storage. Drake Law sits within the wider Drake Law Group, which brings together several established practices, among them Bates Law, John Horn Law, and Whitehead Law and Mediation, with a focus on succession planning for lawyers who are winding down or transitioning. Worth knowing before you call: the firm doesn't offer free consultations. A first intake call with a coordinator is complimentary, but any meeting with a lawyer is a paid service, and the fee is confirmed before you book.

The neighbourhood

Drake Law is a London firm, and its Waterloo Region presence is a branch office rather than the head office. It sits at 137 Glasgow Street in Kitchener, inside Catalyst137, a former warehouse that's been converted into a large maker and technology hub. That puts the firm's Kitchener-Waterloo lawyers among the startups and small manufacturers on the city's west side. Appointments here run through the same intake line the firm uses across its offices, so a client in Waterloo Region gets the local address without needing to travel to London.
