Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Dietrich Law is a Kitchener firm that works only in personal injury and disability law, and only for the people bringing the claim. It represents clients in motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, brain and catastrophic injuries, product liability, dog bites, and wrongful death, alongside disability files that include long-term disability, Canada Pension Plan disability, and accident benefit disputes. The firm has served the Kitchener and Waterloo area since 1993, and it's one of the founding members of Injury Lawyers of Ontario. Most files run on a contingency basis, so fees come out of a settlement or judgment rather than up front, and the firm covers a case's ordinary costs.
The practice was built by George Dietrich, who graduated from the University of Windsor Law School in 1989 and has acted for plaintiffs since 1999. The founder also holds a master of laws in air and space law from McGill and has served as a director of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and as chairperson of the Canada Pension Plan Review Tribunal. Four lawyers work out of the downtown Kitchener office, and the firm offers free in-home consultations for clients who can't easily travel. Its stated aim is to support both the medical outcome and the financial recovery of the people it represents.

The neighbourhood
The office sits at 141 Duke Street East, in the downtown Kitchener core, a block north of King Street and the shops and civic buildings that run along it. The central address matters less for walk-in traffic than for reach. Dietrich Law takes files from across the Waterloo, Wellington, Brant, Oxford, and York regions, so a downtown base keeps it within an easy drive of Cambridge, Guelph, Brantford, Woodstock, and the smaller towns in between. And for clients whose injuries make the trip hard, the firm offers consultations in the home rather than the boardroom.
Frequently asked questions
- What kinds of cases does Dietrich Law handle?
- The firm works only in personal injury and disability law, for the people bringing the claim. That covers motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall injuries, brain and catastrophic injuries, product liability, dog bites, and wrongful death, as well as disability files like long-term disability, Canada Pension Plan disability, and accident benefit disputes.
- Do I have to pay upfront to hire Dietrich Law?
- In most cases, no. The firm works on a contingency basis, so its fees come out of a settlement or judgment rather than up front, and it covers the ordinary costs of moving a case forward. If there's no recovery, you don't pay those fees.
- My long-term disability or CPP disability claim was denied. Can the firm help?
- Yes. Disability claims are one of the firm's two main areas, including long-term disability, Canada Pension Plan disability, and disputes over accident benefits. The founder also served as chairperson of the Canada Pension Plan Review Tribunal.
- I can't travel easily because of my injuries. Can someone meet me at home?
- Yes. Dietrich Law offers free in-home consultations for clients whose injuries make it hard to get to the office, so the first meeting can happen wherever is easiest for you.
- Which communities does Dietrich Law serve besides Kitchener?
- The firm takes cases from across the Waterloo, Wellington, Brant, Oxford, and York regions, including Cambridge, Waterloo, Guelph, Brantford, Woodstock, and Stratford, with local phone lines for several of those areas. The one office is in downtown Kitchener at 141 Duke Street East.
- How long has Dietrich Law been in the Kitchener area?
- The firm has served the Kitchener and Waterloo area since 1993 and is one of the founding members of Injury Lawyers of Ontario.
