About Kinder Lawyers
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Kinder Lawyers is a small general practice in Cambridge, Ontario, and it's been serving the area since 1977. The work runs across three areas: real estate and mortgages, wills and estates, and corporate and commercial law. From the office at 61 Cambridge Street, the firm looks after the everyday legal needs of individuals, families, and small to medium-sized businesses, and some clients drive in from nearby communities like Guelph.
The founder, David A. Kinder, was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1977, the year the firm opened. That background mixes law and business: a degree from Osgoode Hall Law School, a Master of Business Administration from Wilfrid Laurier University, and roughly ten years as an in-house corporate lawyer for both large multinational and smaller entrepreneurial companies before moving into private practice. On the real estate side, the firm reviews an Agreement of Purchase and Sale or a status certificate at no charge and helps first-time buyers claim the land transfer tax rebate. Estate planning covers wills, powers of attorney for property and for personal care, and family trusts.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Cambridge is one of those cities whose name is younger than its streets. It was created in 1973, when the older towns of Galt, Preston, and Hespeler were amalgamated near the meeting of the Grand and Speed rivers, and 61 Cambridge Street sits in the Galt end of that map, the southern core that has long served as downtown. A real estate and estates practice fits a place like this. Cambridge is one of the three cities of Waterloo Region, and it keeps growing, so much of the firm's day to day is the paperwork behind local house purchases, sales, and refinances, along with the wills and powers of attorney that come with settling in and staying put. Some clients make the short drive from Guelph as well.
