Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Dietrich Law is a Kitchener firm whose practice is concentrated in personal injury law, with disability law as its other focus. It helps clients across the surrounding region, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and Brantford among them, and a consultation with one of its lawyers is free and carries no obligation.
George Dietrich earned a law degree from the University of Windsor in 1989 and, in 2002, a Master's in Law through McGill University's Institute of Air and Space Law. Personal injury, disability and insurance law have made up George's practice since 1991, and since 1999 George has acted for plaintiffs alone.
Catharine Simons was called to the bar in 1999 and has handled plaintiff injury and disability claims, first in London and then in Waterloo-Wellington. Alexandra Victoros took an LL.B and an LL.M at the University of Kent in Canterbury and did solicitor training at the London College of Law. Once the National Committee on Accreditation recognized that U.K. degree, Alexandra articled locally and joined the Ontario bar in 2002.
Connor Shields finished a Juris Doctor at Western's law faculty in 2023, then did articles with Dietrich Law from 2023 to 2024 and kept doing the same work there after being called. During law school, Connor was a caseworker at the Community Legal Services Clinic, helping students and low-income residents of London, Ontario.
Practice areas
Accident injury claims
Dietrich Law's lawyers help people hurt in car and motorcycle crashes, slip and fall accidents, dog bites and incidents with defective products, along with recreational injuries such as boating, skiing, and snowmobile or ATV accidents.
Disability benefit disputes
Dietrich Law takes on disputes over motor vehicle accident benefits, Canada Pension Plan disability entitlement and long-term disability benefits. Its disability lawyers commit to staying current with medical and legal thinking on orthopaedic, psychological, chronic pain and fibromyalgia diagnoses.
Brain injury
In a brain injury file, the firm pulls together information on how much function the client has lost and how that's affected daily life, and a qualified neurologist or neuropsychologist can then review it. Dietrich Law pays the costs of preparing the case, medical experts included, so the client isn't out of pocket.
Wrongful death
Ontario's Family Law Act allows a family to recover the financial loss caused by a death, along with the loss of care, guidance and companionship. When the person who died was the head of the household and its sole breadwinner, Dietrich Law calculates lost earnings over the years that remained before expected retirement, factoring in inflation and promotions.
Catastrophic injury
When a car accident leaves someone catastrophically injured, as the Ontario Statutory Accident Benefit Schedule defines it, Dietrich Law makes it possible for the injured person to share points and feelings without being physically present at every meeting.

Free consultationHow Dietrich Law works
For each client, Dietrich Law aims to get the most out of two things at once: the medical outcome and the financial recovery. The firm commits to working closely with clients and getting to know them well, since presenting someone's story to a medical assessor, a tribunal, or a judge and jury depends on that. Many clients first arrive with a diagnosis they'd never heard of, fibromyalgia or thoracic outlet syndrome for instance.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Dietrich Law charge a different contingency fee for CPP appeals?
- Dietrich Law caps its contingency fee at 30% on Canada Pension Plan appeals, compared with 25% on every other kind of matter. Most cases are taken on contingency, so the client pays no fee unless the firm achieves a settlement or judgment, and the firm covers the ordinary expenses of moving a file forward. (Fees as of October 2026.)
- Can someone from Dietrich Law meet me in hospital or at home after an accident?
- Yes. Dietrich Law is happy to meet clients at the hospital or at home, and in-home consultations with one of its lawyers are available. If coming to the office isn't convenient, the firm will make other arrangements.
- Will Dietrich Law take a medical malpractice case, or a client from outside Ontario?
- No to both. Dietrich Law doesn't handle medical malpractice matters, and it assists Ontario residents only.
- What does Dietrich Law want to see after an insurer denies a long-term disability claim?
- When an insurer denies a disability claim and the person wants to know whether an appeal could succeed, Dietrich Law asks to review the insurance policy and its booklet, if there is one, along with every letter to and from the insurer and any medical information that was submitted.
- Can I message a Dietrich Law lawyer through the site's instant chat?
- Dietrich Law offers an instant chat on its site for sending a message to one of its lawyers. It also has online assessment forms and a toll-free line, 1-877-534-9494.
