About Kinder Lawyers
Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Kinder Lawyers has been serving the Cambridge area since 1977, and its team works with individuals, families and corporate clients alike. David A. Kinder, the founding lawyer, has spent an entire career serving the Cambridge community in real estate, corporate, and wills and estates law.
Kinder was called to the Ontario bar in 1977 after graduating from Osgoode Hall Law School, and also holds an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University. Beyond real estate, Kinder brings 10 years of experience as an in-house corporate lawyer, both for large multinationals and for smaller entrepreneurial companies. Kinder is involved professionally with the Waterloo Regional Law Association and the Shades Mill Cambridge Law Association.
Around Kinder is a support team of clerks for corporate, real estate and estates files, a wills and powers of attorney role, and an office manager. That office manager, Julie Kinder, is the founding lawyer's spouse, handles client intake and marketing, and is the voice that answers when you phone the office. Corporate clerk Harjyot Soomal was born and raised in Cambridge, earned an LL.B. (Hons.) at the University of Kent, and works across corporate, real estate and estates matters, speaking English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu.
The firm is committed to professional legal service that's friendly, accessible and reasonably priced. Its office is at 61 Cambridge Street, and consultations can be requested at 519-740-6676.

The neighbourhood
The office sits on the east side of Cambridge Street, once known as Market Street, in what was the historic Town of Galt and is now the City of Cambridge. The building is a two-storey yellow brick house in the Italianate style, built around 1880; it's seen additions and changes over the years, but its original form is intact.
Decorative bargeboard on the front gable shows a high degree of craftsmanship. The house helps sustain the late 19th century blend of homes and businesses along Cambridge Street south of Park Hill Road East, and it's visually tied to 65 and 67 Cambridge Street, since all three share a closely matching style, materials, orientation and form.
