About Khela Law Professional Corporation
Khela Law Professional Corporation is a criminal defence practice in downtown Kitchener, Ontario. It's a solo firm built around one criminal lawyer, Jatinderpal Khela, and it works across the Tri-Cities and the rest of the province. The files run from bail hearings and impaired driving to assault, weapons, drug, and property offences. The firm also handles regulatory matters and professional disciplinary hearings before committees, tribunals, and boards, so the practice reaches past the criminal courts into administrative proceedings.
The background behind the practice starts at the University of Waterloo, where Jatinderpal Khela earned a bachelor's degree in political science, then a Juris Doctor from Bond University. The early part of that career was spent at a criminal law firm in downtown Toronto, on matters that ranged from first degree murder to impaired driving, assault, theft, fraud, and regulatory law, some of which drew media attention. Khela is a member in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario and a member of the Criminal Lawyers' Association. Born and raised in the Waterloo Region, Khela runs the practice back in the community where it started.

The neighbourhood
The office sits at 133 Frederick Street in downtown Kitchener, and for a criminal firm the address is well placed. A few blocks up the same street, at 85 Frederick, the Waterloo Region Courthouse handles the region's criminal matters and houses the Crown Attorney's Office. Bail hearings, first appearances, and trials all run out of that building, so being a short walk away is something that matters day to day. From this central spot the firm covers the Tri-Cities, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, along with the rest of Ontario.
